[Spring 2020/21 harvest]

The last ingredient among the three teas that make up the blend comes from the Zhenkang area in Lincang. Its sweetness reminds me of Yi Wu sheng (Man Zhuan perhaps), while the grain-like nature is a bit like some Jinggu teas such as the Jiu Tai Po one from YS. In the end, I like it the most out of the three in the blend.

In particular, it has a very pleasent thick and creamy texture. I also like its strong taste that is close to wheat beer – sweet and bitter with grainy flavours and a sour undertone. Otherwise, I found aromas of forest and compost, as well as flavours of buckwheat and grass.

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.
