Marumasa

Reminds me of the tea they serve in some of the restaurants we ate at in Japan. Mainly vegetal flavors with grassy hints in the aftertaste. Seems like it’s a very delicate leaf as there are many broken ones in the bag. I’m not going to put in a rating. Simply because its not a terrible tea but its also not one that will stick in my memory. Just a run of the mill flavor in my opinion.

Brewed at 75C for 30 sec. Very vegetal, grassy tea with a bit of astringency. A bit of sweetness too. I am feeling very sleepy this afternoon and brewed this one to try and wake me up but it doesn’t seem to be working. It was a pretty tasty cup.

This was the first tea on the menu at Liquid Proust’s lovely backyard tasting. It was my first sincha, and while good, still had a slight atringency, a predominantly vegetal taste, with a sweetish aftertaste. Overall, somewhat nondescript green. I will reserve rating it for now.
