drank Gyokuro by Harney & Sons
1908 tasting notes

I experimented with steeping this tea in a more traditional fashion using more leaf, slightly cooler water, not mixing the leaves while they steeped, etc. The results were so grassy and bitter that I couldn’t even finish the cup and had to dump it out, something i almost never do with tea – steeping it subsequently for 30 seconds was better, but still slightly bitter. Bleh, this tea is going to lose points for that – I liked the Murchie’s version so much better.

Bio

I’m a university student in her twenties who’s currently working her way toward a Bachelor of Natural Resource Science degree. I love both science and science-fiction and I’m a history nut on top of that. Maybe I should just call myself a nerd and leave it there. ;)

I’ve been drinking tea since I was young but it’s only in the past couple years that I’ve become interested in the good-quality stuff.
