excellent tea.
low caffeine level.
lighter, yellowish color compared to the bright green of sencha.
Fresh, vibrant dry leaf, as usual with hibiki-an.
I used fairly precise temperature, leaf weight, water volume and steep time during this sessions, using thermometer, timer and scale.
First infusion minral-umami, sweetness and a touch of pleasant bitterness, very thick ‘soupish’ tea liqud.
second infusion onwards: thinner than first. a faint almost tart floral fruity aroma detectable on exhale after sip.
