I have received two small pouches of this tea from White Antlers, so again thank you!
It looks very differently to its What-cha counterpart. It is like only the golden tips used. And those are much smaller leaves too.
It’s very much different, smell is more malty and more floral. Same with taste — it’s more floral and less complex. It’s not a bad tea though! Just not that perfect. Four minutes steep, as recommended was maybe too much and produced very malty tea. While I do like malty teas, I couldn’t notice much else. Of course, florals were in taste too, but probably way too hidden under the malts.
It isn’t bad, that’s right. But not that great as What-cha one. Less complex and maltier flavour profile.
Flavors: Floral, Malt

I got some from White Antlers, too, so after seeing your tasting note I decided to have it with my breakfast! Malty and good!

I am pleased to hear that, Mind Duck Japan Podcast. But, it would nice to hear it beforehand that my tasting notes will be used.
