I got Batrachoid’s package today!! I was so excited to try everything =)
It sounds like this tea is a shincha (first harvest sencha). It’s AMAZING. Somehow, “gold” is a good description of it. It’s not steamy or vegetal like most sencha, but rather somewhat nutty and roasted. Great taste, I really like it.
I like Tao of Tea’s new site by the way!
This is You :-D

Bio
My favorite teas are Taiwan high mountain, Anxi, Wuyi, and dancong oolongs. I also need my deep steamed sencha every now and then. I’m not totally into flavoreds but I’m always up for interesting flavors (like ATR’s Nirvana and Toasted Fig). My favorite natural flavors are roasted and floral.
I have a BA in Biochemistry from Smith College with a minor in Japanese. I have a Masters of Bioscience from Keck Graduate Institute in Claremont, CA.
I love J-R&B and J-Urban and used to do a radio show on WOZQ Northampton, MA. I also play WoW (Aireene on Proudmoore).
