80

This is the first green tea I have had for a year and a half.

As Janchi says in the review before she’s a fussy one! The first time I ended up with an bitter mess. – That cant be right, can it? I was being a bit careless (water was left over from another tea but had cooled a bit, not sure the size of the pinch of leaves). So the next time round I used less leaf and made sure the water was 70c, and was greeted by a lovely cup.

Peas, nutty, greens, sweetness & a hint of something perfume. Much much better! I’m having again and there is a slight lemon citrus in there, its all very pleasant.

Only ever-so-slightly dry, astringent, and a slight bitterness when at the bottom of the cup, the last sip or so (grandpa style).

I liked it even though this isnt the sort of tea I usually drink

90+ is godly

80-90 is something i would buy again.

60-80 ok, but probably more bland or basic in their flavour.

0-60 something tastes wrong with this one.
