As a revision of my previous review, I want to emphasize the huge impact the quality of your water has your tea tasting experience. I’m in Seoul for the summer, and water in Korea is historically known to be exceptional. There are so many natural mountain springs that hikers regularly refill their bottles with water seeping out of the rocks—no exaggeration.
So, I brought some of this particular tea with me to test the city’s tap and what I experienced was an intensified aroma in the cup, extra body, and a much more pronounced, long sweet aftertaste. My friend and I were literally tea-drunk with glee.
I highly recommend serious tea tasters learn more about how to enhance the quality of their water to get the most out of the overall experience.
One of my favorites!
An under-appreciated one for sure.
