Wishing I had a box of Goldfish crackers to go with my Fish Hook tea. Ohh, I saw where M&Ms has rereleased Crispy M&Ms. I loved those. Dang it. Now I’m snack hungry. I blame What-Cha! ha.
The leaf on this is tiny and battleship gray and yes, it kind of looks like a fish hook. OK, this tea was steeped one (ONE!) minute. To look at the lovely lightly yellow liquor, you would expect a lovely quiet cup. Then you take a sip and the bite grabs you, shakes you out of your inattentiveness, and shouts, “PAY ATTENTION TO ME!” Well, that’s what I heard anyway. I’m not sure it is astringent as I don’t notice much dryness at all. I just think it is the good clean bitter that I love in a green tea.
The taste, now that I’m paying attention is kind of grassy and kind of corn like. I think it is kind of sweet, but as a sweeteneraholic trying to leave the monkey behind, it is hard for me to say for sure.
The second cup had less bite, more cheek tingle, and still only a little dryness. The grassiness was predominate with corn following behind. The sip ends with a mineral note and fleeting floral notes.
My kind of green. Now to find some munchies.

A friend at the dialysis clinic brought me some of this type of tea the other day and I’ve really been enjoying it.
Corn? I totally agree
I remember when i was a kid we would sneak and eat the corn off the cob while it was growing in the garden(before it was ready to harvest), this tea totally reminds me of those days, that sweet, grassy, veggie taste and unique sweet smell, i love it :)
Awesome! I totally respect any tea that brings out happy memories, especially from childhood.
