Another tea from the rare tea class. And holy crap is this rare. If you ever have a chance to try it please do not pass up the opportunity to do so! And forget my review when you do so that you can form your own opinions. But also because I had some really weird things I tasted. It was all over the place. Except for the dry leaf which I didn’t get to smell but I did get to see. They are slightly glossy and the leaves are quite big. The flavor is lemony with some umeboshi on the side and then some pickle. And the problem with pickles is when you start thinking of pickles and dill you can’t unsmell it. The wet leaf reminded me of tomato sauce with dill. Like maybe they added too much dill. This will not become a cupboard favorite but it’s so unique I want to try it again.
