◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and tart, with pronounced acidity from the spontaneous fermentation balanced by the tea's subtle tannins and bergamot sweetness. Mid-palate develops layered fruit character and herbal spice, while bitterness remains restrained and refined. The interplay between sour, fruity, and tea-driven flavors creates compelling complexity without overwhelming the palate.
