Hey guys! Don’t be afraid to write notes of those teas! Even bad ones.
I am very surprised that noone wrote a single line and a few of you got them already. Hopefully this note can change it a bit.
Because I have tried it today, two or three pinches (I haven’t weighted it) and used quite hot water (it was boiling, but resting on the stove-top for a few minutes). So, sadly I don’t know the temperature either. Prepared western in large basket-strainer.
Anyway, after a short steeping time — it was 2 minutes at maximum, I got bright green liquid which had aroma of sweet grass. Buffalo grass? I don’t know names of grasses.
The brew is silky smooth with light mineral/again sweet grass notes. Aftertaste is very sweet and very enjoyable. As I had 50 grams, I have a plenty to try this more, with many different steeping parameters, methods etc.

I’m trying to finish 10 or so open bags of other teas before exploring the Georgian catalog. Past experience says the Georgian tea profiles pair best with our autumn weather, which won’t be happening here until November. In reality, I’ll probably start trying them in October!
Soon… this is the first one I opened a couple days ago too! I’ve been drinking so many flavoured teas lately and need to switch gears before writing a note :)
It wasn’t intended as a reproach. It just suprised me :) I am glad to hear they are good.
I’m steeping this tea right now. This was the first of the Georgian tea I tried. Followed the website instructions but am not getting much flavor from it. I think I’ll use higher water temperature next time like you did.
It usually takes me several sessions to dial in the right steeping parameters. I try to wait until I can brew a tea correctly before reviewing. Otherwise it feels like an injustice to the tea :-D
