Harvest Year: likely 2022 (expires 2023)
4g in 100ml gaiwan
1st infusion: (80˚C, 0:20)
- I guess this would classify as the “rinse” as the balls are not unfurled yet. Almost no green tea flavour in this. All floral. A slight soapy note which makes this unpleasant, a bit gagworthy for me.
- Rating: 65
2nd infusion: (81˚C, 0:30)
- Liquor has very slight faecal smell (?!?!?) Reminds me of a horse stable smell… hay and bitter / rubbery tinge of manure omg. But makes it complex and quite enjoyable to drink
- Rating: 75
3rd infusion: (81˚C, 0:35)
- Still a bit animalic scent but milder than before, nice like a subtle perfume. Liquor is super tasty green tea

Former farm kid here—compost and hay scents make me smile!
Jasmine tea may contain indole, which is a compound also found in poop!

I think some raspberry and strawberry flavorings smell like vomit and discovered that is due to butyric acid.
Whew, the stuff you learn around here!
