leaf in hot water drank Ban Nou Cha by Murataen

89 tasting notes

Drank this again – lots of tea drinking due to the weather. Especially since I favour salads for work lunches…tea is the only thing that can warm me up. Roasted notes wash down the remains of my lunch perfectly, and the fact that lots of people at work are sick made this seem like a sensible choice, being a herbal tea with leaf ginseng and lots of other herbs…

Flavors: Corn Husk, Herbs, Roasted, Roasted Barley, Roasted Nuts

finding myself in hot water again and again…

I grew up in a tea drinking culture, but my parents were seriously hung up on jasmine tea and oolong tea, so I never really had much exposure to other teas. My horizons expanded when I moved to Japan and discovered genmaicha (roasted rice tea aka popcorn tea). after that, I discovered black teas, red teas, and flavoured teas, how different teas could be by the region, processing methods, water used.

Now I can’t get enough of it!

I experiment with different teas, blending them sometimes to see what the outcome would be. I find my tastes to be quite diverse, but run away from the more floral side of things. Tie Kwan Yin is probably the only one that most people seem to enjoy, that I don’t. Otherwise I am game for most teas. Fruity? love it. Smoky? Mmm. Earthy? bring it on! Light and vegetal? keep pouring!
