From Chicago Tea Garden

Tea
This kamairi tea has a very strong vegetal, green tea smell. The taste is very strong and reminiscent of buttered green beans. There is a very light, almost thirst-quenching astringency and a lasting freshness.

Leaf
The dry leaf of this kamairi cha is tightly rolled and is a very dark green. Once steeped, the rolled leaves open up and become bright green and very fresh looking. The wet and dry leaves have an overhwelming fresh smell to them,Read more

The Final Sipdown: Day 12
Decupboarding Total: 27

I’m staring to like when good teas are caught up in The Final Sipdown. It’s a nice break from teas that are still around only because I don’t like them enough to drink them up. This is one of those good teas. I’m not dying to reorder this but, depending on the state of my pantry, I can see myself picking up more of this the next time I order from CTG. It’s quite tasty and I like the variety of flavors I can get from this.

This time I went the ‘high-flavor brew’ (11.5g/12oz) and it really is flavorful. The sencha aspect is really highlighted. The pan frying gives it a nice, somewhat nutty note that makes it feel more like a fall-mood sencha instead of a spring or summer one. Perfect for today with a cold front stalking us!
