Togo drank Sun Moon Lake 2022 Shan Cha by Literárna Čajovňa

954 tasting notes

As soon as I smelled this one in the tea shop, I knew I wanted it. I bought all they had (which meant 30g in this case haha). The tea doesn’t disappoint, it is complex and fragrant as I knew it would be, but also well balanced.

The aroma has a mix of fruity (nectarine) and vegetal (tomato vine) notes. The taste is intense, and the aftertaste even more so. It is woody and bitter at first, with fruity and earthy hints. However, it doesn’t lack sweetness either. Flavours of moss and vanilla appear on top of the aromatics. The expansive aftertaste further adds floral touch of honeysuckle and nectar to the mix.

Flavors: Bitter, Earthy, Floral, Fruity, Honeysuckle, Moss, Nectar, Nectarine, Pungent, Sweat, Tomato, Vanilla, Vegetal, Vineyards, Wood

Hi, I am a researcher in math, physics and computer science. Apart from teas and mathematics, I enjoy sports and traveling, as well as music of all kinds. Connect at https://rateyourmusic.com/~Togo

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.
