Above the Waves

Bergamot's bright sharpness cracks open like morning at the shore, immediately tempered by frankincense's resinous depth. The tea heart—oolong's dry, almost mineral sweetness—unfolds slowly, warmed by rose's quiet spice. Above the Waves settles into cypress and vetiver, earthy and austere, their green-grey skeleton anchored by cedar's woody cool. The rose fades; what lingers is the bone-dry marriage of tea tannins and cedar smoke on skin, faintly resinous at the edges.
