ADVENT DAY 1, tea 3/3
I took Siam Tee Shop advent just because I just wanted to go through plain teas to find some new favorites, to try teas I wouldn’t probably buy otherwise and to keep palate ready for plain teas and not only for flavored teas.
Vendor promises chesnut flavors from this tea, when brewed with 90°C water (!) so I did exactly as they suggest. Decided for 3 grams / 125 ml gaiwan; that means I have 2 and something left for other session. Probably after holidays, though!
I got promised flavor! It is chesnut with buttery notes, especially when steeped longer (at least 1 minute). When steeped too long, it gets green beans and vegetable notes too; which clash with chesnuts.
While it is a fine and nice tasting tea, I probably prefer the grassy green teas; as this one just didn’t click to me… somehow? Or I just didn’t expect this in the Advent?
