Green Tea by Franklin Tea Company
(no info on company site other than “Premium Green Tea”)
The first of my “limerick” teas :o) Quite a mystery, in that the Franklin Tea site doesn’t give me much to go on … but I could have sworn I was tasting some citrus. Orange? Mango? Very light, very enigmatic, very nice.
Not bad but not great. The first time I tried this, I was using way too much leaf, and it was so vegetal and astringent that I could barely finish the cup. Today, I actually followed directions, and it was much lighter, and much less like drinking a glass of seaweed puree. i don’t have a good way to check the water temp here at work, so I’ve been winging it – I have noticed that the hotter the water I’ve used, the stronger both in flavor and in astringency.
I think this would work for you if you like strong, simple green teas.
I can totally smell the Pumpkin seed comparison.
Just about done with the infusion…
receive this in a swap…I have some boxes going on today and more next week – sorry for the delay, girls!
Okay…so…
Green tea taste, yes…with a masculine type taste at the end…
I can taste a seed-like taste, I guess…sunflower or pumpkin-esque.
It’s not very memorable and not one of those teas I would be jumping out of my shoes to try again but I must give it an “E” for effort.
