First steep; 5 seconds: Little sweet, but mostly savory vegetal. Mild astringency.

Second steep; 7 seconds: I under steeped, but not bad. Mineral spice and more subdued savory green. Maybe faint floral. Some astringency, but pleasant.

Third Steep; 12 seconds: Smooth, savory, and a little grassy. Creamy mouth feel developing.

Fourth Steep; 17 seconds: Less savory, more sweet with some grassy flavors. Maybe vague honey notes.

Forgot to log the rest of my notes for this one. This wasn’t bad, and it’s from 2015, but it basically tasted like a green tea mostly. I think I might brew this one western style as said on Verdant. The other times I brewed it like that I got better flavors.

Flavors: Grass, Green, Savory, Vegetal

Preparation
175 °F / 79 °C 5 g 6 OZ / 177 ML

I have been drinking and makeing tea for me and my mom for most of my life and have been starting to get into loose teas.

I like fruity, spicy, strong teas, Chai’s, Black, and Rooibos. I have recently been trying and getting into Oolongs…

Really liked it, and makes a above average cup

Is good, but might not have a lot of complexity or wow factor. Is pretty average
60-70
It’s ok, but not great. Might need added ingredients or tweaking, and is below average.

Would only if nothing else was available. Would not recommend to someone.
