3g/6oz – This one really hits the spot tonight for some reason.
The husband said the smell reminded him of scotch… after discussion we determined maybe that was the chestnut notes Adagio describes? Honestly, I have no clue what a chestnut tastes like. Pecan, yes. Peanut, yes. Walnut, sorta. Anything other nut? Not so much.
Anyway, slightly sweet with a fairly heavy/dark flavor (for a green) and with a slight undertone of seaweed (a bit like the dehydrated wakame I use when making miso soup), a tiny bit of the briny taste I seem to always taste in Chinese greens (but not much) and a hint of dryness after a sip.
I’m going to have to try a chestnut to see if that’s the dark flavor that dominates this tea or if it is something else.

Roasted chestnuts have a sort of sweet and burned taste to me. And the texture of a potato. So you’re right that might have been the notes you were picking up.
Hmm, I can see that. Because it was sweet and the darkness of the taste (can’t think of a better way to put that) could be the burned taste to you. If that’s true, then this tea is very chestnut-y!
I think u described this green to the T! I like it!
