Another backlog tea. One day I shall catch up … honest!
This is a great tea. It is all warm, summer day, and savoury sweetness. The summery feel is enhanced by the way the leaf blades dance on top of the water. This makes it particularly worth brewing in a glass teapot.
Both the dry and the wet leaf have a grassy, umami, pork chop aroma. The liquor is very pale green verging on colourless. If you are used to Yorkshire Tea, you could be forgiven for thinking you had been given a cup of plain hot water until you smell the vegetal aroma of the liquor.
The taste is quite complex. It comprises vegetal, spinach notes together with the aforementioned pork chop and a solid nuttiness that gives it a truly full-bodied mouth feel, and this is all underlain by a delicate sweetness. The aftertaste is sparkling and savoury, and lasts well. Yum.
Flavors: Nutty, Spinach, Sweet, Warm Grass, Umami, Vegetal
an awesome tea.
little glass pitcher method (grandpa style)
when I smell the leaves dry, they smell like sweet-grass.
when I smell the leaves wet, they smell more intense.
when I smell the brewed tea, it smells sweet like sweet grass.
when I taste the brewed tea, it tastes like sweet-grass
a note: you must use proper water temperature for this tea (most dragonwells don’t need it) or it will get bitter fast thus why I’m scoring a 95.
many thanks to angel tevivre for this amazing tea sample
Flavors: Grass, Sweet
