Nurturing umami green tea from Japan

GABACHA is a umami green tea, long in the mouth and rich in « GABA » (gamma-Aminobutyric acid), an amino acid known for its numerous beneficial virtues.
Its jade-coloured liquor is soft and sweet with an incomparably long finish.
Gourmet notes of pink praline envelope the palate.

This is weird. It’s nutty and a bit caramelized, but there’s something about it I really dislike.

Advent Day 13

I just took a bite of a passionfruit from a friend’s yard and it’s throwing off my tastebuds a little! Most of these MF teas say to steep for 5 minutes, but I couldn’t bring myself to do that to a green so I only steeped it for one. I’ve been taking my tea out of the bags and suspect I’m getting fuller flavors by letting the leaves expand without restrictions. I’m not a huge green tea fan, but I’m liking this one. There is no hay or grassiness, it’s just smooth and light with a slight buttery taste or feel at the end of each sip. The flavor is the same once the cup has cooled. It is a very enjoyable cup and I would drink it again, but it isn’t standing out enough for me to want to buy it.

Mariage Frères Advent 2021 – Day 13

Lord. I shouldn’t have joked about food poisoning on my recent Sticky Rice Oolong note. I missed my advents and had a hard time reviewing material yesterday, but thankfully it receded enough for me to complete my final exam today (just finished, hurrah!). Talk about terrible timing (cold cuts are temporarily dead to me).

Unfortunately, I steeped up this tea just before it all went downhill. I got a few nice sips in before it hit though (and got to drink the rest cold today). It tasted like an alright Japanese green tea (and not an oolong, which google says this should be); I thought MF was reaching with the description of “notes of pink praline” but I did taste it before wishing I was dead. Or maybe nuts with sugar is the canary in the coal mine for food poisoning. Currently having trust issues (but if it’s a GABA the sweetness makes sense).
