The note opens with a harmonious duality of crisp, slightly tannic tea leaves and a rich, golden sweetness. It is often a black tea varietal, offering an earthy depth, a hint of dried hay, and a subtle smokiness that grounds the experience. Intertwined with this is a pronounced, almost syrupy sweetness reminiscent of dissolved cane sugar or light amber honey, never cloying but rather comforting and inviting. Often, there's a bright, effervescent top note, perhaps a whisper of lemon or a juicy peach, which lends a refreshing lift. The texture is smooth, liquid, and slightly viscous due to the sweetness, yet it retains a dry, aromatic quality from the tea itself. Its intensity is moderate, creating a warm, inviting aura that projects gently. It evolves from a brighter, fruit-tinged opening to a warm, enveloping heart of steeped tea and lingering sugar, eventually settling into a soft, sweet, and faintly musky or ambered base with good longevity, often performing as a sophisticated heart note.
