The dry leaf is incredibly well rolled. After participating in a hand-rolling class in Japan at Obubu Tea I can tell you it is not easy. All the leaves are uniform in color. A beautiful, shiny dark green, tightly rolled. It has the aroma of a gyokuro. A mix of rain, umami, and frozen parmesan cheese. It has an incredibly soft mouth feel. Very filling. The flavor is exactly what one would expect of a tea rolled on a temomi table. Really high in umami with a punch you in the face veggie note.

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)
