In Vietnam, in the north of Hanoi, most families own small tea gardens. Farmers in this poor, rural region have created groups whose members work together to produce each member’s tea. It is from this collective effort that this energizing tea emerges, with its sweet vegetal, slightly herbaceous, and smoky notes. Cultivated without the use of chemical pesticides. For lovers of robust teas.

Pulled this one out for work yesterday – greens aren’t my thing, but I was sort of feeling one and I’d like to sipdown some of my non-Hojicha samples that are just taking up space right now…
In all honesty, the flavour of this cup didn’t leave an impression on me – I drank it during a morning that seemed to slip away faster than I could blink and it was sort of just background noise to that. It probably does, at least, say something positive that it didn’t snap me out of that focus because it tasted bad though! I did drink the last sixth of so of the mug a bit more thoughtfully, after it had cooled, and I noted a slightly smoked vegetal note to it that reminded me a bit of, maybe, Bok Choy? That mineral greenishness? As I’ve said in the past, though, I’m shit at describing green tea flavour notes…
I prepared this tea Gaiwan style and it was sweet with smoky notes. It is claimed to be cultivated without pesticides which is a good thing. It gets sweeter with multiple steeps and the smoky notes hand on throughout. A great green tea from Vietnam!
Flavors: Herbaceous, Smoke, Sweet, Vegetal
