When the teapot is warmed, then you put the tea leaves in. After smelling hot and dry leaves in the pot, gently pour the boiling water to the pot.

Upon opening the bag I could smell something like fresh baked bread. Wonderful TGY, during my session I was getting those baked bread notes, caramel, honey, resins and a very well done roast. The oxidation and the roast only enhanced this lovely tea. It reminded me of going to a bakery early in the morning and you smell everything they have to offer. It can only make your day better!
