Adventageddon Day 5
Two days of back to back straight green teas is not super fun for me personally, but I did enjoy this one a lot more than yesterday’s bancha. I didn’t time to make it gongfu, so it was a larger Western style mug for the day. Definitely more medium bodied and quite smooth with strong notes of chestnut, edamame, and both corn silk and grilled corn. Not something I’d typically reach for, but all the other teas today were kind of decadent and sweet in one way or the other so it actually was a nice break up from that.
(As an aside, I’m not sure what makes this particular dragonwell “ceremonial”. It didn’t seem like an especially high quality/grade to me.)
