Togo drank White Crow 2023 Lincang Shoumei White Tea by Bitterleaf Teas

997 tasting notes

As I still have the 2019 cake, I wasn’t in a rush to try the new one immediately. I was craving this specific tea today, as it happens once in a while, so after a couple of months in storage, I decided to break in the 2023 vintage today.

The tea deliver what I would expect. It has that supremely balanced taste that is sweet, fruity, woody, and nutty at the same time. I also enjoy the thick, oily mouthfeel.

The tea has a floral aroma, with notes of gum, berries, fruit jam, flowers, wood, shellfish, as well as honey.

Flavors: Berries, Floral, Flowers, Fruity, Hay, Honey, Jam, Marine, Nutty, Shellfish, Sweet, Thick, Wood

Preparation

195 °F / 90 °C 0 min, 30 sec 5 g 3 OZ / 100 ML

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.
