A really nice green tea. Maybe a little bit too nice to become a favorite of mine. It has a nectar-like sweetness, but doesn’t feel quite as thick as some other sweet green teas I have been impressed with. Light pleasant floral-fruity osmanthus notes and a whisper of nuttiness, but so far lacking in any interesting quirks or twists to win me over. I’ll keep trying with this one. I’ve often changed my mind on a tea after a few brews.

Well, had a Chritsmas-time bout with Covid in our family, and now I no longer have a sense of smell. Greatly impact my ability to appreciate/taste tea. All my teas are more or less the same for the time being. Boo! Glad I did not yet place the big Yunnan Sourcing order I was planning on making! Might wait a little while on that one and hopefully my senses will return.
Still drinking a lot of this tea, though, and I guess it does the trick under these circumstances.
I lost my sense of taste and smell last year around this time with Covid. I did my own version of olfactory retraining, just getting out some essential oils like lavender, peppermint, and orange that have very different scents, sniffing them deeply, and imagining the scent as I remembered it. My daughter and I both did this and both recovered our senses of taste and smell quickly. Ashman did not and took longer, but he also had a much worse case that we did.
I hope you can fully enjoy your teas and food very soon!
Thanks, Ashmanra! I’ve been sticking my nose in the various spice jars here at home and also taking sniffs of my jasmine tea to try and retrain my nose. I do seem to get faint whiffs of things, so hopefully it won’t be long in coming back.
Been drinking a lot of this one lately while I wait for my Yunnan Sourcing order to arrive, and it is growing on me. I’m noticing that this tea reminds me of persimmon! Bumping up my rating a little bit.
