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.

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.
