I was very excited to try this after my new found appreciation for Japanese green tea…
When I opened my sample package to smell the leaves are so fresh it is like smelling a bunch of spinach. I brewed this up in my glass mug for about 2 minutes using cooled boiling water.
I have to say I am in heaven! This is a beautiful greenish gold color with slight “bubbles” in the brew. It has such a creamy mouthfeel, it is VERY buttery, slightly grassy and creamy. Truly delicious. Another tea I would rate at 500 if I could because it sort of blows the other teas straight out of the water. I only got a sample of this stuff, and YES it is expensive but I am getting more. It would be very expensive for an every day tea but nice to drink on the weekends or when you needed a pick me up. It is very energizing and refreshing. A++++
note: I got four steeps out of it before I gave up and put the leaves in a smoothie. they are so mild you can eat them with no problem.
I got a sample of this from butiki. I know it’s one of the worlds greatest teas….
nice! I hope you like it. mine was fantastic…
I see … A++++
:-D
36.50 for 5 ounces is not bad for a super premium
I have def. seen more expensive ones – I have no idea if they are better or not.
I love bubbly, frothy teas like that…..YUMMY! I agree, for a tea of this quality, that is a really good deal for 5 oz-especially if you really enjoy it like you do Amy.
