Japanese green tea in a bag seems such a shame. The leaf is such a vibrant green that it must be enjoyed to the fullest in full view. But this one, it’s okay in the bag. After tearing open a teabag to inspect the leaves I discovered a stifled green. This is not a bad thing. All tea are different colors. The aroma is somewhat industrial. New building drywall for the dry leaf. The wet leaf is more vegetal. Which is good, can’t say I was really looking forward to trying out drywall. Asparagus. Tall, spring grass. The flavor is a bit grassy. Smooth on the palate with a bit of astringency. There is a unique flavor here that I am going to attribute to the Benfuki cultivar. It is somewhat medicinal and earthy.

Industrial, such an evocative word to describe a smell.

Don’t often think of medicinal/earthy for greens. Interesting.

I’m a purist but I will try a flavored as long as it doesn’t have artificial flavors.

I will drink any type and love to taste whatever I can get my hands on.

(Purple is not a type of tea it is a cultivar known as TRFK 306/1)
