This is a tea that matches its name well. It does smell of seaweed and water and some undetermined spicy aromas of faraway tropical lands. The taste is savory and umami: seaweed, cooked spinach, succulent grass and some exotic spicy notes.
All strands blend well and create a unique and memorable taste that I had no desire to dissect. Very mermaidy indeed. Usually green tea-based desert blends leave me underwhelmed but not this one really impressed me.
I like to drink teas to recreate a specific mood, or just to take a break at work. The world of tea is so endless, patiently waiting for exploration and rewarding you in many ways big and small.
I am looking forward to years of playing with tea leaves, gaiwans, cups, and YouTube videos.
My ratings:
90 or more – a very good/excellent tea, I can see myself ordering it again.
80-89 – it is a good tea, I enjoyed it but not enough to reorder.
70-79 – an OK, drinkable tea but there are certainly much better options even in the same class/type.
60-69 – this tea has such major flaws that you have to force yourself to finish what you ordered.
<60 – truly horrible teas that must be avoided at all costs.
