27 Tasting Notes
first houjicha i try, and it taste real good ! Scent is awesome too, very strong !
This was a gift a friend gave me back from his trip to japan. Very much enjoy it at work
Flavors: Bark, Chocolate, Nori, Wet Wood
Preparation
Maybe i don’t like Sheng, maybe i’m just not used to it, maybe it needs more time to be better ? I have no clue, but i couldn’t drink this at all, it was so bad for my taste i couldn’t get any notes of anything.
A friend of mine tasted from the same cup, and was getting all the aromas (apricot for example)
Preparation
Hello, thanks, i’ll check if my friend still has some, and will try again at lower temp, but it’s really really astringent, but i think i tried at 80,85 and 90°C already.
Will have another try, but it seems i have the same issue with white teas :/
Perhaps a really short steep would help. On the other hand, it may simply be a tea that isn’t quite to your tastes, and that is okay!
