Togo drank Esmerelda by Whispering Pines Tea Company

1013 tasting notes

Unlike derk, I like cold-brewed greens quite strong. I crushed about 7g of leaves and steeped them in 500ml for about 2 hours at room temperature. The result is a briny and tangy tea with a lot of umami, decent bitterness and no astringency. As usual for greens the taste is crisp, refreshing and somewhat sour. I think it would go extremely well with a hint of elderberry syrup and mint, but I don’t have either at work :D

Flavors: Bitter, Floral, Grass, Pleasantly Sour, Sour, Tangy, Umami

Preparation

Iced 8 min or more 7 g 17 OZ / 500 ML

Hi, I am a researcher in math, physics and computer science. Apart from teas and mathematics, I enjoy sports and traveling, as well as music of all kinds. Connect at https://rateyourmusic.com/~Togo

I had been drinking Japanese green tea for a while before discovering the world of tea in 2017. I rarely drink blends and generally avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied.
