Continuing with the project to get through all the teas in my cupboard and write a note about them, this is today’s green. After yesterday’s disappointment with frothless matcha, I am thinking I will skip the matcha candidate today and go directly to oolongs after this.
The dry leaves in the packet smell wonderfully sweet, like fresh mown hay. Which makes me think of Elton John’s Skyline Pigeon for the first time in years.
The steeped tea is, remarkably, colorless. The only thing that indicates it isn’t just water is some suspended solids in the tea. The aroma, too, is very faint. A tinge of sweetness and butter.
The flavor is subtle, but lovely. A freshly grassy, slightly nutty, slightly buttery flavor. I would like to taste this one on a rested palate, as I believe there is more to it that I am missing having had a couple of heavily flavored teas already this morning.

In theory, this would work… if we stopped adding more tea to our inventories, except for the little detail that… we um… never do…… * shifty eyes *
Ain’t that the truth…
