Spring 2023: Another wonderful green tea from YS! Dry leaf fragrance is awesome, smells almost like an apple pie. Complex flavor with apple sweetness, but also hints of herbs and cinammon, florals, cooked veggies, and a buttery texture. Only drawback is it seems to have a really drying effect on my mouth, so probably wouldn’t pick this to drink every day.

Also: 2 minutes is on the long side for a first steep with this delicate tea. A two-minute steep brings out a bit of bite and some more grassy tones. If you only steep for 1 minute western-style (my preferred method), it will accentuate more of the lighter and sweeter floral/fruity notes.
