A sipdown! (M: 1, Y:1)
A sipdown prompt! Your oldest green tea.
Actually it’s not that old. Blended and received in December, 2020. It sounds scary in terms of green teas and all things that happened, but here we are.
I have been neglecting this tea because star anise was super strong and actually not so good at all. And I like that spice, but not in such excessive amounts.
My residue was like tea bag filler, very crushed pieces of tea and lemongrass.I was quite afraid it will turn bitter, but a nice surprise there. It wasn’t bitter at all and actually, star anise faded a lot (but remains noticeable), quite lemony and herbaceous notes.
Glad to see this finished and also I am glad it was quite good (however, I completely changed steeping parameters).
