Strong mineral flavor on the first steep. I can’t really go into any further detail from there. The second steep was more earthy and slightly floral. However, the mineral flavor still lingered but not as strong as the first steep. Not my favorite but I think I will just need to work with this one a bit until I find its sweet spot.
Added Notes (Hubby): Earthy woody notes with a background mineral note. Mostly gets a strong hay flavor.
Humm I have never heard of this JAS eTea but those are my initials – I must try!
Check them out. So far I’m rather impressed.
I love JAS eTea – that’s where I got my easy Gaiwan. Love them.
Agree with your review completely. This particular tea does much better after it’s been broken up and aged for a couple of years in a yixing clay jar. It’s actually quite good after that!
