So I’m going to make an effort to write shorter notes, as I find when I’m reading through others’ notes my eyes sort of glaze over when notes are longer, and I really enjoy those that are more concise.
I really enjoyed this one! It had such a light and mellow flavor with sweet dry grass, hay, and oats in the early steeps. A soft vegetal note, like edamame or lima beans was pervasive throughout, and a light floral appeared in the later steeps. Loved the gentle roasted-seaweed-like umami presence as well, and the refreshing astringency.
Light, soft, smooth, and comforting! Very different from the Spring sencha!

Your notes are always short anyway! I’ll take them any way they come.
Sometimes I look at my long notes and I’m like “Ugh.” But I don’t want to invest the effort to trim them down. First drafts for me.
I don’t think your notes are too long, but then I am probably one of the people making your eyes glaze over! Ha ha!
Long notes are fun to read although I’m a big read so I may be a tad biased? This one sounds so good!
Longer notes are more valuable usually! I get more into your feels about the tea; and I know I write long ones too.. and sometimes it may be boring; but sometimes even very short. Depends. Write them as long as you feel you aren’t confidident about it. I am like derk, first drafts. Trimming them down results in inconsistency of my writing-flow.

I don’t find your notes too long, I actually quite enjoy them!
Aw thanks you two, you’re sweet!

No, ashmanra, I love the details of your notes (and all the various note styles that everyone has!)
