[Spring 2024 harvest]

This white tea is at times a bit like green tea, it certainly pays off to get it quite fresh.

The aroma is very nice, dry leaves reminds me of nuts, hay, grass, sage, and apple leaves. When wet, it is more like a cooling mix of flowers, morning dew on the mountain, and laundry detrergent haha.

The tast is strong, quite bitter and also a bit astringent. There is a warming sense to it, as well as a malty flavour and a spicy aftertaste.

Flavors: Apple, Astringent, Bitter, Cooling, Dry Leaves, Flowers, Grass, Hay, Malt, Meadow, Nuts, Petrichor, Sage, Soap, Spicy

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.
