This tea is visually beautiful. Small and shiny balls of greenness with yellowish stems. This tea is well made already.The dry leaves smell green and grassy, fresh and strong. Each time I brew this tea in a gaiwan, I made up to 9 steeps (water at 200 for 5’ infusions, open gaiwan). each of them so different in taste and feelings. It is a very interesting green tea that evolves with time and the temperature of the tea in your cup. It has a very pleasant smoky feeling that is not overwhelming. It is first very herbal and grassy with some sweetness in it.it always has a mineral subdued taste during all infusions (pebble).During the last infusions the tea change to more floral notes (spring). The most striking with this tea is the continuous freshness of each cups. fresh and light yet with a presence and a nice energy in your mouth. a must try.
