Soft and silky on the tongue, with a delightfully sweet grassy note as counterpoint to a dark, savory green vegetal character akin to kale or nori. The taste is fresh, slightly tangy, and quite oceanic, reminding me of asamushi sencha or guricha. A very fine tea and one of my new favorites.
Loose leaf tea drinker since 2006. I began with Adagio and Upton and moved on from there.
My reviews are concise and only describe flavor and texture. I avoid the 0-100 rating scale, for two reasons. First, there is no objective measure and a score of 100 for a newbie could be 70 for an experienced connoisseur. Second, users may ignore the review itself and focus solely on the score, which could lead to an unfair assessment of the tea and possibly impact the merchant’s reputation and sales.
