1852 tasting notes

Just received my One River order a few days ago, and very impressed with the couple teas I’ve tried so far. This is really nice- lots of dried fruit and honey.

Finished off a sample size bag. Quite tasty.

Cold brewed this for about 4 hours. Refreshing! Really mild and smooth. Slightly buttery.

Finished this at work a couple days ago and truly cannot remember a thing about it.

Mmmmm, this is good. Not sure why I gave it a lower rating previously, but the bag that I just opened is delicious. Honey, floral yumminess.

Sad this is already gone. So tasty and milky. Like a creamy lilac stew. Will probably purchase again at some point.

Finished off a 15g bag over the last few mornings. It’s lovely and bright, and has been a really nice tea to wake up with. It’s very forgiving for the first 5 steeps or so, but starts to get bitter quickly after that.

Flavors: Cut Grass, Flowers, Green Melons, Lilac

Didd not expect how reddish brown this steep would be, considering how green the dry leaf is. This smells so unique – spinachy, but also really floral (like lilac). Super umami broth. Like a veggie stew.

Flavors: Artichoke, Lilac, Mushrooms, Spinach, Umami

This smells super roasty. Like bordering on burnt? But the burnt aroma doesn’t translate as much to the flavor. Definitely more like a traditional hojicha. Nice and toasty, slightly caramelly.

Flavors: Caramelized Sugar, Fireplace, Roasty

I don’t drink a ton of green tea anymore, but a few weeks ago suddenly got this urge to have some. I didn’t really have any on hand, so of course had to make a Yunomi purchase (also pre-ordered some One River Tea 2024 harvest).
This was the first on deck. It’s nice! Mostly getting roasted seaweed with a touch of cooked greens.

Flavors: Seaweed, Spinach
