I got some fresh green teas recently and organized an outdoor tea tasting last weekend to try them out. Personally, I like this one the most among them. It has a pungent and well balanced taste with a great presence in the mouth and a also a lasting aftertaste.
The dry leaf aroma reminds me of meadows, moss and fried green vegetables. During the session, the smell is more butter-like and very green with a mild nutty undertones and hints of fern and green beans.
The taste is sweet and savoury with a nice bitterness and also some sour notes. It is remarkably mineral for a green tea, particularly reminiscent of limestone and shellfish. There are also some fleeting flavours of edamame, lavender and mint.
