Georgian Wild White Tea Kamar WILD ORGANIC

March 2022 Sipdown Challenge — A tea that makes you happy

Like a meadow. Wildflowers, straw and flax notes are backed up by a muted dried spicy-leafy-herbacous tone and the taste of a light clover honey. The tea sips astringent and becomes sweet and viscous as it moves which allows the honey to swell, but the astringency breaks through especially under the tongue.

Thank you Martin for the sample! It was my first Georgian white tea. A good tea to brace my senses and get me more in line with this daylight savings time shift. Now to make the most of my 3-day weekend :)

Another finally opened pouch.
But I am sitting here and trying to write a tasting note and… nada. I feel so off-track recently when it comes to tea. The leaves are looking so beatuful, the pictures are true to reality. Wild grown, organic, white tea from Georgia is something unique I just had to order, even it is one of the most expensive teas I have in my collection.

I did two western steeps. First one was rather long, so it gets quite a thick texture, but filled with nice peachy note and a bit of other stonefruits. Then some minerality appears. It was quite an unique experience. I even used maybe too much leaf, about 4-5 grams (my accurate scale ran out of batteries).

Second steep, of same leaves, is very different though and honestly probably even better. It was a bit shorter steep, around only 3 minutes (maybe even that was too much) and a bit colder water maybe as well. It get some herbal note I think, but not offensive in any way, maybe honeyish a bit as well. It is more floral as well. Are those meadow flowers? Proabably so.
