Company description not available.
Haven’t had any greens like this one. It’s cloudy, and the first infusion is “thick” if that makes sense. The tea has a very full body to it. A fine sediment of tea sweepings forms at the bottom of the cup, because this tea’s leaves are so small, which I believe is part of the style.
I believe this tea is very sensitive to oversteeping, anything beyond the recommended 2 minutes gives you more drying astringency. The flavor is delicate, mellow, maybe a little vegetal/mineral. There is little to no bitterness.
I like this one but it seems a little fussier than their genmaicha. At higher temperatures the brew is very different, I could not make this tea “properly” until I got my precision kettle. It’s still enjoyable right off boiling, but you don’t get all the subtleties of it.
Flavors: Drying, Sweet, Thick, Vegetal
