so I had some banana bread with butter so I cannot exactly taste specific flavors. but since this tea was in the kitchen near cooking fumes I thought this tea would taste bad. but it tastes really good, just don’t over steep this tea

time for a full review:

when i smell the leaves dry, they smell like strong pineapple and other fruits

when i smell the leaves wet, they smell a little like pineapple

when i smell the brewed tea, it smells a little like pineapple and peppery

when i taste the brewed tea, it smells sweet with pineapple and pepper

many thanks to christina for letting me help with the tea party setup and for giving me this tea

i wonder if there is a tea that tastes peppery more than this.

new score, 100 —> 90

off to take a relaxing hot shower

when i smell the leaves dry, it smells sweet and musty

when I smell the leaves wet, it smells sweet and earthy with minor fish smell but I don’t mind the fish smell

when I smell the brewed tea, it smells toasty and earthy.

when I taste the brewed tea, it tastes really smooth. mellow and metallic

many thanks to scott Wilson and Yunnan sourcing for this awesome tea.

I had to use a hammer to break this tea into usable pieces. mrmopar, I have a nice size chunk for you.

i noticed this pouch did not have much of that asparagus smell nor taste but it is still really good.

when i smell the leaves dry, it smells like fresh cut grass like i believe all sencha should :D

when i smell the leaves wet, it has a major sent of freshly cut grass and a minor scent of asparagus and for some strange reason nuts. (could be because i have a bag of camellia on the table) :)

when i smell the brewed tea, it smells nice and grassy :D

when i taste the brewed tea, its the same as the smell of the liquid :D

what a lovely tea! :D

used 4 tsp for multiple 250ml cups throughout the evening

so I had some of this tea today, and it tastes very mellow now. still its a lovely tea :D
