1006 tasting notes

For my first session with this tea, I used a lot of broken leaf pieces I found when unpacking it. As such, I had to be very careful not to overbrew it. I did get a very strong brew, but never really unpleasant.

One of the clear highlights was the exceptionally thick mouthfeel that sets this tea apart from a lot of similar ones. I also liked the very bitter and sweet taste a lot. It is a vegetal with notes of butter, burnt food, leek, alcohol, and apricots.

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.
