33 Tasting Notes
I made a wonderful soy matcha latte to get myself emotionally prepared for the huge snow storm that is coming to Utah. I whisked 2 teaspoons of this matcha in about 3 tablespoons of hot water. When it was well blended, I stirred in about 8 ounces of soy milk. I highly recommend you try it.
Preparation
I’m not normally a fan of Japanese green tea, but I picked this one up on a whim. It is very mild and not too vegital, so it has been a very enjoyable tea for me. It took a few tries for me to brew it correctly, so be careful. It is easy to over steep.
Preparation
As a long time fan of Adagio’s golden monkey, I thought I’d try this version. It was decent, but didn’t quite pack the punch that I was anticipating. Next time, I will try to make it a bit stronger.
Preparation
Yeah, that’s what I was afraid of. I was hoping I had just brewed this one incorrectly the first time… oh well…
Actually the leaves are different – the Teas etc is more gold and the Adagio’s is a combo of black and gold. Maybe that made a difference in the tea taste?
This is a an average pu’erh. The flavor profile is rather one-dimensional. I enjoy drinking this in the mornings at work because it is dark and strong enough to be a good coffee alternative, and the pressed mini cakes make preparation simple.
Preparation
Chinese green teas are very underrated in the tea world. I encourage all the Japanese Tea fans out there to try a Chinese green tea today.
This one is light and only slightly vegetal. A perfect complement to the Thai food I enjoyed for lunch.
