13 tasting notes

I was entering new territory trying a roasted green tea! So I carefully studied the website before brewing my first cup. I wanted to get it right. I followed the instructions, adjusting the water temperature a bit for my own taste. I’ve never had a tea I only steeped for 45 seconds!

I took a sip, then another and another. I loved this tea!!!! It has a lovely nutty flavor – maybe a bit like chestnuts. When first brewed and still very hot, it still had a bit of the fragrance of tobacco and grass, but that quickly faded as the tea cooled. It also became sweeter and sweeter as it cooled! I have never tasted such a sweet tea that was not flavored to be sweet!

Preparation
160 °F / 71 °C 0 min, 45 sec

Hi! I am a total tea fanatic! I review teas on TeaViews and my tea horizons have been opened!

I am also an artist – watercolor painter. (see my website.

And… I am chronically ill with ME/CFS – thus the great time on my hands to paint and drink tea :-)
