[Spring 2019 harvest]

In spite of being 1 year old, this tea hasn’t lost much of its freshness and is as good as when I got it. It is not too memorable, but its balanced nature makes it a great choice when you want something random with a grassy/vegetal profile and a good body.

Dry leaves smell of hay and apple, while the wet leaf aroma is more like white wine, kale, and freshly fallen leaves. The taste is sweet and grassy with a moderate bitterness and astringency. There are notes of green wood, grains, white grapes, asparagus and later in the session honey as well. The body is medium to full with a nice velvety mouthfeel.

I had been drinking Japanese green tea for a while before discovering the world of tea in 2017. I rarely drink blends and generally avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied.
