Another tea leftover from the courses taken through the Global Japanese Tea Association. The dry leaf is glossy dark green with a few other green hues and flat. The aroma is of creamed spinach or maybe butter and green beans. I’m at the beach so we are doing a cold infusion.
Seaweed and high in umami.

I would love to take the course at some point! Have you enjoyed it?

I don’t want to over excite anyone and have people have too high of expectations but yes I did very much enjoy the courses. Even if you do it just to learn how to properly steep Japanese tea that in itself is so worth it. They supply you with great tea from farmers you might not otherwise know about. Feel free to message me if you want!

Yea I was wondering how helpful it is for someone with some good experience with Japanese greens already. Sounds like it is still worth it probably!

I guess it just depends on your level of experience. But even if you’ve been Japanese Green teas your whole life there will be plenty to be gained from these courses. Not to mention being in Japan is awesome

I’m a purist but I will try a flavored as long as it doesn’t have artificial flavors.

I will drink any type and love to taste whatever I can get my hands on.

(Purple is not a type of tea it is a cultivar known as TRFK 306/1)
