150 Tasting Notes

This was my first white tea and I was so disappointed. It was a bit expensive and I had high expectations. It has awfully lot of crushed big leaves in it and suprisingly few leaves and tips that look like white tea to me. I taste mostly those bitter crushed leaves in the tea.

This time I tried picking the best looking leaves and tips but it didn’t improve the taste much, but this time tea looked like white tea. I’m considering tossing this tea, because I very rarely drink it and don’t like it.

Tea becomes dark brownish (stays clear of course) when it gets cold.

This is one of my favorite flavored green teas. It reminds me of Forsman tea’s Emperor’s choice green tea which has lychee and safflower petals instead of lily petals. I bet the recipe is very close and the green tea the same. This is just a tad cheaper and more available.

This tea is fruity and sweet. The leave smell oh so fruity and delicious. I should have steeped this in a couple of degrees lower temperature but I was impatient. I like my green tea green.

Fruity pleasant taste. Cocos adds an interesting nuance to it. Tea is reddish yellow. Taste goes bitter when it gets cold.

This tea is more genmai than bancha. I picked out almost all the roasted rice and steeped just the bancha. Tea is bright light green and has a hint of the taste of the roaste rice now. It’s quite good.
