March Sipdown Challenge Prompt – Pi Day and Einstein’s Birthday
Superanna gave me this tea and said I could go ahead and unwrap it, but I decided to save it for my birthday and have it be my breakfast tea. This was purchased in Tokyo, I believe, so I had to add it to the data base. The Hawaii store doesn’t sell it.
Pi Day is my actual birthday, but I tip my cup to all of the March babies here, and there are so many of us!
As for the tea, the dry leaves unfurl to quite an impressive size on steeping. The steeped tea has a rich aroma, a lot of body, and a thick, creamy mouthfeel. Lightly steamed asparagus is the leading flavor note to me, and I love asparagus. This has a richness that I associate with the word umami, but I don’t know if I am using that correctly as this has none of the seaweed or briny notes you might find in some teas that carry that description.
Many thanks, Superanna, for a rare and delightful tea treat that I might never have been able to try without your trip to Japan!
Happy (belated) birthday! This sounds like a lovely tea to enjoy on your birthday!
Happy Birthday!
Thank you!
Happy birthday! Glad you could enjoy a beautiful tea!
Happy Birthday, ashmanra! I hope it is/was a tea-lightful day! :-D
Thank you, Stoo!
