5 Tasting Notes

Hatsu Enishi Shin Matcha Gold from Marukyu-Koyamaen
100

If you have tasted matcha before and didn’t like it because it was too bitter… Or liked it as long as it was accompanied with something very sweet… Well, this matcha will change your whole perspective. It’s so so sweet, very creamy and with a touch of “grassyness”. It’s a whole experience!

Bai Mu Dan (White Peony) from Halcyon Tea
63

Tasty white tea, but I do prefer the lighter kinds, such as silver needle. Nonetheless this carries a whole range of other flavors that someone may prefer over the more delicate white teas. This tea leaves you with a dark yellow color and has a heavy feeling in the mouth, carries a nutty/woody flavor, no astringency and just a hint of bitterness.

Organic Peppermint from Halcyon Tea
96

One of the finest peppermint teas I’ve ever tried. It has a very strong, delicious peppermint smell that delivers a fresh, sweet and minty flavor. It’s delicious hot, but I prefer it chilled on summer days for a very refreshing drink that doesn’t need any sugar to be tasty. I’d like to try it someday with a splash of mineral water and some fresh peppermint leaves.

Nilgiri Glendale Extra Especial from Halcyon Tea
94

Delicious black tea! It leaves you with a very nice sweet after taste and no bitterness. Very recommended.

Lapsang Souchong from Halcyon Tea

Bio

Japanese green teas started my love for tea and now I find myself learning and experiencing black, white, oolongs and pu-ehrs. I love tea not only as its taste, but as the whole ritual experience, especially in the company of others.
