honestly this one’s such a charm innit 😂 pale gold colour, looks so delicate first sip’s got that soft mead hint then all these delicate herbal infusions roll through - chamomile, mint tea, even wild rose? super very light too, almost like floral jellies y’know? but the finish is unnervingly short, feels like an old and lovely painting where colours have faded a little over time there’s even this stale herbal tea note that’s exactly Earl Grey forgotten in the teapot plus faint faded flowers, slightly overripe clementine, weird little Japanese red bean paste twinge? odd but lovely honestly 😌

Took a sip and immediately thought of that Earl Grey I left to sit too long in the pot—floral but with a quiet, faded charm, like old roses in an attic. Pale gold, very light on the tongue, almost delicate. There’s something slightly off, though, a bit unnerving, like the ghost of a clementine that’s seen better days. Sweet and mead-like, but with these floral jelly textures lingering on the back of the throat. Faded flowers, wild rose—reminds me of a painting left in the sun too long, lovely but soft at the edges. Short finish, leaves you wondering if you imagined half of it.

Just had a sip and it's... really quite gentle. Kind of like chamomile tea with a hint of that old-timey mead sweetness? Delicate is the word. The finish is short, just fades away. Tastes a bit like those floral jellies you get, or maybe the memory of Japanese red bean paste. And strangely, it reminds me of an old and lovely painting where the colours have faded a little over time. Charming, but subtle. Like finding a cup of Earl Grey forgotten in the teapot – still fragrant, but muted. There's a touch of slightly overripe clementine in there too, and faded flowers. Makes me think of sitting quietly with a warm cup of mint tea. Very nostalgic, really. 🌿

倒了一杯，闻着有股薄荷茶和洋甘菊的味道。 挺精致的，但回味好短。 喝起来有点像红豆沙和花果冻？还有点过熟的橘子皮。 整体感觉像泡过头的伯爵茶，怪怪的，但又不算难喝。 最后嘴里留着一股草本的余香。

Had a wee dram of this earlier… very pale gold in the glass, like sunlight that’s been sitting in a dusty window. Nose is delicate, almost shy. Wild rose, a touch of chamomile, and something that takes me straight to those floral jellies my gran used to have – but there’s also this whisper of slightly overripe clementine, the colours have faded a little over time. It’s oddly lovely, like an old and lovely painting hanging in a quiet room. On the palate, it’s very light. Mint tea and a gentle mead sweetness roll into herbal infusions and a soft Japanese red bean paste note… then a wee stale herbal tea note hits, like Earl Grey forgotten in the teapot for too long. A bit unnerving at first, but it somehow works. Faded flowers linger, then it just slips away on a short finish. Weirdly charming. 🍵🌸
