What-cha is having a 20% off sale, and so far I’ve quite enjoyed everything from my last order, so it’s time to try out the last couple of things and see what needs restocking.
The dry leave is dark green and quite twisted and needle-like. The fragrance is quite mild.
Steeped 1tsp in 76C water for 1.5 minutes. The steeped leaf and liquor smell amazing. Butter, roasted nuts and seaweed. On the palate, there’s a bit of a tang, some seaweed and a hint of the roasted nut flavour at the back of the mouth. There’s a light grassiness that builds through the finish, and a faint floral note.
Nice cold as well. I had to run out in the middle of this cup for lunch plans that I completely forgot about.
The second steep, again for 1.5 min, is pretty much the same as the first.
I’m not sure I would stock up on this, but it’s about a bajillion times better than the sencha I had from DAVIDs recently.
Flavors: Butter, Floral, Grass, Roast Nuts, Seaweed, Tangy
