April 20, 2014 harvest, received it on May 19. Smells grassy, vegetal. Very bright taste, lime and watercress at the outset. Some of the other notes here say that this year’s harvest is much brighter than last year’s, the tea seems very bright to me. A bit of chestnut roast taste to finish off, but the brightness is what lingers in the mouth, cool on the throat afterward.

Am still working on getting the best steeps of this tea. I think I am steeping it too hard and too long, forcing it, because it is so light, I think my palate is affected by the heavier fermented puerh, roasted green oolongs, and darker sencha I have been drinking.
Yeppers, lowered the temp even more and that is the ticket!
