San Nen Bancha - 3 Year Aged Bancha - Medium Roast from Norbu Tea

teaddict drank San Nen Bancha - 3 Year Aged Bancha - Medium Roast by Norbu Tea

Warm toasty friendly bedtime tea
Finally broke into this tea this afternoon, wanting something mellow. And it is warm, toasty, mellow, cozy, a little sweet. It smells very darkly toasted, much like a genmaicha, but the brew, while clearly toasty, has none of the bitter scorched notes that have put me off of that tea. I love it.

Curious, didn’t know they’re aging greens.

Bio

I’ve been drinking tea for 30 years, but only bought 2 brands of 2 different teas for most of that time. It took me almost 30 years to discover sencha, puerh, and green oolongs. Now I am making up for lost time.

I try to log most of my teas at least once, but then get lazy and stop recording, so # times logged should not be considered as a marker of how much a particular tea is drunk or enjoyed.
