If you read any tasting notes for this one before you drink it you will definitely taste what you read. I accidently read cantaloupe and now I taste it.
The dry leaf is long and incredibly thin. Mostly dark green with hints of light pistachio green. The aroma is filled with umami and grassy notes.
Flavors high in umami. It doesn’t quite taste like zairai to me though so I believe this is one of their conventional gyokuro. This is one of the teas from the Global Japanese Tea Association classes. The mouth feel is incredibly smooth though it is quite a bit astringent if you don’t watch it. Thus far I’ve been able to get 3 full infusions from these leaves. This also makes a great Umami bomb if you use the koridashi (ice brewing style) .
It is pretty simple if you have never brewed that way before. Simply add your leaf and ice cubes to an appropriate size cup and wait till it melts.
