Company description not available.
So given how much I liked Nozomi, I ordered a sampling of other teas from JGT Co., even though this is not a company I probably would have otherwise purchased from. This is my first aracha, so nothing to compare it to. However, it is fairly bland overall. Has almost no smell on the dry or wet leaves, and the flavor is not bad, but nothing to write home about.
Flavors: Vegetal
TeaTiff TTB #1
I was craving a green tea when the box arrived, so this was the first one I pulled out. I’ve had some bad experiences with Japanese green tea in the past, but this one is delightful! It steeps up to a bright lime green and has a delightfully smooth, delicate vegetal flavor. Definitely something I’d consider purchasing on my own. This box is off to a great start!
Flavors: Smooth, Vegetal
2021 Homemade Advent Calendar Swap – Day 20
From Skysamurai.
This is the sachet/tea bag version, but this company also has this same tea in loose leaf form. I’m admittedly not the best judge of this tea because I don’t drink green teas often, and when I do they are typically flavored green teas. That said, this tea isn’t bitter like others I’ve tried so it’s not so bad. Not one I would choose on my own, but it’s interesting to try something new every once in a while.
