If anyone else received this one and knows how to read Japanese – by all means – EDIT this tea!!!!
This was the tightest packaged tea I have ever come across. The FRESHNESS and aroma is truly amazing tho! Well worth the vacuum-packed effort!
I will be doing an infusion test with this one…here is the 1st infusion’s findings…
The aroma is a little like slightly salted butter. The taste is a little like buttered veggies but not as intense with the buttered notes as some I have tasted. It’s brothy and savory.
This is darned tasty! I feel like I’m eating something rather than drinking something!

DOH!!!!!! My bad! :) But…is it IN Japanese on the label? Or Taiwanese? Regardles…I can’t read it! LOL – Sorry about that!
I don’t know if it’s Japanese, or Taiwanese, or possibly Mandarin? I really don’t know. (and no need to apologize, I was just feeling silly) I have a bag of tea that my husband brought home to me a few weeks ago (maybe even longer than that now), that I can’t read… it’s a Chinese White tea that one of his co workers procured for me from China. But, I can’t read it. LOL so I don’t know how to log it. So, it’s just sitting here at my desk, in its pretty little package, calling out to me and I have to ignore it because I don’t know what the heck it is. LOL
But, back to the ITFA teas… It’s very hard to read the labels sometimes, I usually turn to the informational packet that they include in the shipment for information about the teas.
Hummmm, you tempted me, than mentioned buttery and salty in the taste/flavoring and I have decided it is not to be for me. It has been a while since I had Oolong teas of my own since having finished all of mine.
Nice review thank you. I hope to be around you guys, at times it is nice to be here. Things are really tough on me. Again good review as always.
LOL … it’s not from Japan, it’s from Taiwan.

seule771 – hope things are looking up soon! I raise my teacup to you!
Sorry to say, no hope there. It just has to be so. Pr-determinism; to keep repeating the past so next generation fairs best. It just is.
