New Tasting Notes

Meh. Not the best. Slightly bitter and I steeped it for 3 mins at 180 degrees. I have much better Jasmine Greens in my tea cabinet. That said, if I had NO other jasmine greens around, then I would drink this.

I have no idea of the brand, but I had a nice pot of jasmine with my Thai dinner.

Drank a pot this morning as iced. I love this stuff.

My dad had bought this a while ago from Teavana, and I decided to try it out this weekend when I went home for Mother’s Day. Its very delicious. I love the comforting taste – creamy and slightly chocolatey (if that’s even a word…).

7.5g @180F. 45 sec pre-rinse. 20oz pot brewed as 2x 10oz infusions of 3 mins each.

Aroma: somewhat vegetal, slightly grassy, sweet undertones
Liquor: golden, slightly cloudy
Body: medium; warm and present mouthfeel, no dryness/astringency
Flavor: smooth, floral

Probably my least favorite from the tea tasting. It’s good, but I much prefer http://www.steepster.com/teas/takaokaya/genmai-cha to it.

A bit watery taste, but you know you’re drinking green tea. A bit of an aftertaste.

I appreciate the lower caffeine dose, and could see this as an evening cup. It’s darker than the rest of the Japanese green teas in the sampler pack, and earthier.

good, but a bit weak

earthier than the sencha deep roast, but still a classic green tea taste.

This was my favorite of the tea tasting. It’s strong, and what I expect my green tea to taste like.

sweet, iced

Iced, with honey. Not great nor terrible.

Prepared in small glass pot for about 8 min of single brewing

at sixth and vine for brunch

The best Earl Grey from cheap Earl Grey bag’s teas.

The addiction has continued over this weekend. ;-)
