Devon Bartholomew Advent Day 4

Labeled: Japanese Midori Green

I’m not always the biggest fan of green tea; particularly Japanese, as I find it often has a more aggressive, grassy flavor. But this one was a pleasant surprise! I stuck to a 2-minute steep and the resulting brew was smooth and almost buttery, reminding me a bit of a green oolong. I was trying to pin down the flavor and I think it reminds me the most of baby spinach…which is my favorite salad green, so no complaints. A nice surprise!

Flavors: Buttery, Smooth, Spinach

Preparation
170 °F / 76 °C 2 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 10 OZ / 295 ML

I wonder if I’d like an arugula tasting tea as much as I like arugula salad!

Can’t say I’ve ever had a tea that tasted like arugula! :D

“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.” ~ C.S. Lewis

I was introduced to loose leaf tea by a roommate in 2012, but it wasn’t until I stumbled upon Steepster in 2014 that I discovered a world of tea that went beyond Teavana and the grocery store.

My tastes continue to evolve, but black tea is currently my favorite. I am especially drawn to strong, malty breakfast blends to wake me up in the morning and flavored dessert teas to sip throughout the day.

Just about everything in my cupboard is available to swap, so feel free to ask!
