Togo drank Lian Hua Feng Bei Dou Yancha by TheTea

1000 tasting notes

[Spring 2020 harvest]

This is a fairly unique yancha, even though I find it a bit hard to phrase in what way. On the nose I get notes of banana bread, citrus fruits and strawberry on top of the more standard woody and cherry aromas.

Similar associations come from taste too. It is quite sour like citrus zest, a bit earthy, biting, and with a decent woody bitterness. The strawberry note is recurring. Minerality is strong, and I can also taste some flavours reminiscent of forest. Sometimes it feels like chewing on plant roots, which gives a funny contrast to all the fruitiness.

Flavors: Cherry, Citrus, Citrus Zest, Earth, Forest Floor, Fruity, Mineral, Sour, Strawberry, Wet Rocks, Wood

Preparation

Boiling 0 min, 15 sec 5 g 5 OZ / 150 ML

Hi, I am a researcher in math, physics and computer science. Apart from teas and mathematics, I enjoy sports and traveling, as well as music of all kinds. Connect at https://rateyourmusic.com/~Togo

I had been drinking Japanese green tea for a while before discovering the world of tea in 2017. I rarely drink blends and generally avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied.
