Brewed for 2:10 in my Breville One Touch Kettle ‘s green tea setting (can’t remember the actual temperature for the life of me).
This tea is interesting. It’s not quite what I’m looking for when I just want a cup of green tea though. I prefer a flavoured green or genmaicha (love it’s toasty taste). I’m really curious to brew this gong fu style. I find it a bit overwhelming with its vegetal, buttery and astringent notes. I love to see how this does with multiple short steepings.
I’m a queer lady in my late twenties who loves cats, comic books, travel, and photography. I fell in love with tea in late 2011. My “tea corner” is now threatening to overthrow the kitchen! I’m the worst at writing so I’m sorry about the babbling messes my reviews will most likely be.
DAVIDsTEA was my first introduction to loose leaf tea and I’ve remained pretty loyal to them (especially since they’re a Canadian company so their shipping price isn’t ridiculous and delivery is speedy!) I’ve recently ventured into teas by 52teas, Della Terra Teas and the Metropolitan Tea Company.
The first teas I really enjoyed were dessert ones (and I still overloaded them with sugar, blech!). I still like them but now I’m trying to get into less-sugary teas. I loooooove me a good genmaicha and have a weakness for most oolongs.
