Chakouan

This is buttery and quite vegetal, and while it tastes good I’m relieved I’m not madly smitten ‘cause kamairicha is somewhat hard to find and on the pricey side, and doesn’t keep well (and I’ve already grown hopelessly fond of tencha and gyokuro, which involve similar hurdles). It’s good but not mindblowing. Lovely way to close out a harried last-day-before-true-holidays-are-upon-us evening. The weather is super gross here right now—abruptly warm (like 70F after dark warm, blech) and humid, just begging to give you a sinus infection. This hits the spot.

Going out of town for Christmas soon. In case I get swept up before that and don’t post, happy holidays y’all!
