673 Tasting Notes
an awesome tea.
little glass pitcher method (grandpa style)
when I smell the leaves dry, they smell like sweet-grass.
when I smell the leaves wet, they smell more intense.
when I smell the brewed tea, it smells sweet like sweet grass.
when I taste the brewed tea, it tastes like sweet-grass
a note: you must use proper water temperature for this tea (most dragonwells don’t need it) or it will get bitter fast thus why I’m scoring a 95.

NOTE: the following comment does not affect the score
only if this tea tasted more asparagusy
also it was hard to strain the stems in the little strainer while pouring the tea into the cups so it managed to get a little bitter on me

Flavors: Asparagus, Sweet
Preparation
so i picked some of this tea from my backyard.
doesn’t smell or taste like much even though the leaves were already dry. but had a extremely minor peppermint taste, but seemed the taste is similar to sheng puehr steeped for 3-5 seconds
in the end its an ok tea, but i probably wont pick again unless i run out of tea
NOTE: steeped for 10 seconds as my native friend said to steep it very short
many thanks to Johnny for telling me of this tea. he knows a lot about native plants and native medicine :D

when i smell the leaves wet, they smell sweet, green and spicy.
when i smell the brewed tea, it smells sweet and spicy.

this tea did not need to rinse long and maybe not at all as i did not get the top quarter rinsed well with water but it still tasted awesome! :D
however i have one minor problem, i wish this tea tasted more spicy instead of slightly spicy. (this in no way affects the score) :)
