Well I decided to steep this western style tonight, which might be why it ended up kind of… intense. :) 3g of leaf, 10oz of water, 80C, 2min. The dry leaves are really cool – dark green and silver in colour, rolled into little nuggets. Dry, they smell like freshly-cut grass. Wet, they smell intensely vegetal, like… kind of like canned peas? The liquor is rich, with a thick, buttery mouthfeel. The flavour is again very vegetal, like cooked spinach and peas. There’s bit of fresh-veggie in there too, but less intense. This is a very savoury green tea. Looking forward to trying it in the gaiwan next. :)
