Working my way through my What-Cha samples. :) This time I’m trying two: Nepal 2nd Flush 2014 Sencha Green, and Nepal 2nd Flush 2014 Dew Drops Green. 3g for 8oz, 75C, first steeping 2min and 2nd 3min.
I don’t know, you guys, I’m so bad at green teas. The biggest difference I’m finding here is in the leaves. The Sencha has this cool pine-needle look, that unrolls into leaf pieces, stems, some buds I think. The Dew Drops are rolled into little balls, and unroll into leaf pieces. Once brewed, the tea smells and tastes like green tea, lol (see? so bad.) Grassy, green, maybe a tiny bit of sharpness but no unpleasant bitterness. I don’t think I could reliably tell them apart. A nice green tea but not particularly interesting to my (obviously uneducated) palate.
