Flavor & Character
Old Manse Mixture is described by Synjeco as “a sweet mixture of bright and red Virginia”, emphasizing softness, warmth, and balance rather than sharpness or intensity. Bright Virginias contribute fresh, hay‑like sweetness and light citrus tones, while red Virginias bring gentle depth, subtle breadiness, and a mellow finish. The flavor profile remains calm and steady throughout the bowl with no added casing or artificial notes. [synjeco.ch]
