4 Tasting Notes

Japan Bancha from TeaGschwendner
54

Not my favorite green in the cupboard. While its color and aroma is inviting, the flavor falls a bit flat.

Formosa Nut Oolong from Teavana
63

Excellent tea for a novice who is not familiar with types a flavors. This Oolong doesn’t require much sweetening and isn’t very picky about water temperature so you are less likely to burn the leaves. This Oolong is great year around but makes a perfect winter tea. The nuttiness really stands out but I feel it slightly overpowers the taste of the leaves.

Japan Sencha Extra Fine - 705 from TeaGschwendner
79

This tea has a bold color and is amongst the more potent of greens that I have tasted as of late.

Japan Genmaicha from TeaGschwendner
96

With a steep time of only 1 minute. This is a blend that can be enjoyed multiple times. The dried rice complements this potent green rather well. A break of fresh air amongst a sea of green teas that feel almost identical at times. This tea will never be absent in my cupboard.
