This green tea has some light oxidization, so it’s not so fresh tasting, but I guess it stays good for longer. It has a lot of complexity, strong flavours and an incredibly soft, velvety and milky mouthfeel.
From the dry leaves, I get aromas of meat, pumpkin flowers, freshly cut grass and courgette. The wet leaves, on the other hand, smell of soap, sweet florals and cabbage. The soap is a strong note, but not in an unpleasant way.
The taste is very crisp and juicy, while retaining a delicate and sweet profile. There are notes of custard, green peas, lemon balm, citrus, green wood, artichoke, bread crust and cannabis, the list goes on :D
I like the bitterness present, and it only gets astringent at high temperatures. The aftertaste is quite strong and cooling, like a mountain breeze. I get additional flavours of vegetable broth, pine and fresh herbs.
