I have bought a box of tea bag wrappers from fellow collector, so many tea bag teas notes coming up.
As a first one I took this one, as it was pyramid sachet, “orientale” sounded a bit spicy to me, and green tea… why not at all. And coop do good teas (usually), as I have an experience from their Swiss branch.
What a surprise to find out it is actually green tea with cherry. Well, I need to learn Italian words related to teas. Anyway, to the tea — briefly, but hopefully enough to give you some idea what the tea was.
It was nice grassy green tea base, with sweet cherry notes. Those fruit notes started as sakura aroma, but lately they became stronger to fruit itself. Also, as the matcha was in, there was some umami flavor, as well as some buttery notes. Maybe I have used a bit too hot water.
I can imagine drinking this iced, though it would need longer steeping time for sure and overfall it was nicely refreshing cup.
80 considering tea bag qualities.
