Nio Teas advent day 2
It’s interesting to read the notes on the website about evaluating these teas. I’m hoping to learn a lot about tasting for green tea in particular. I’m not getting any of the supposedly “extremely fruity” element, either in the sip or the scent. I do get the “light and sweet” start, with a pleasant mellow grassiness in the middle. There is almost no bitterness in this first preparation where I would expect it most. I was surprised at how well the flavor held up in the second steep as well.

Honestly Japanese green teas primarily taste vegetal and/or grassy, and other notes are usually minor by comparison ha ha.
