ADVENT DAY 17, tea 2/3
Gongfu, 3 grams / 100 ml (not filling full gaiwan) / 90°C (as suggested)
Nice and grassy sencha, with no seaweed, buttery or salty taste; instead I got nice meadow and freshly cut grass notes.
I wasn’t paying too much attention to the steeps, so some were good, some worse and one or two were truly exceptional with very long mouthfeel and nice flavour and aromas. In those exceptional steeps are definitely also notes of mountain and morning dew (no matter how lyrical this sounds) and to be honest, maybe I just didn’t noticed or it’s not there… there was no umami (or very low).
