78

A sipdown! (M: 8, Y: 16)
I am drinking this tea all day. A kudos to derk who sent it to me, and Leafhopper that is original and previous owner. 4 grams — 125 ml gaiwan, gongfu session.

Well, what to say. It contains lots of GABA and made me relaxed today. It wasn’t needed, but somehow appreciated. First steeps were very green, vegetal, pleasantly (maybe not that much) sour, green apple, sweet/sour sauce. Later yeasty notes appear, honey and bit of stonefruits, or white grapes.

Finished in the evening with long steep, which was very yeastyy, yet comfortable.

I am glad I have finished it; and well, it’s not much tea for flavour profile, but for GABA instead I guess. At least for me. Keeping rating on 78.

I’m glad this tea is getting sipped down! No one really seems to like it, including me. Unfortunately, I have two more 100 g packs . . .

I may take some (because GABA), but 100 g seems to high.

Leafhopper

I thought I was getting a great deal since I paid something like US$35 for 300 g of tea. And it would have been a great deal if only the tea was something I liked!

Buried in tea right now. Is in my cupboard (trying to be updated) which sparkled your interest? Write me, I would gladly share with you. But I don’t want anything in return now :)
