I lied, this is actually the last tea that I tried this week from my coworker’s Tokyo trip. Steven Smith has a tasting/show room there, so they made the trip out to visit it and see what it was like. Some interesting observations they shared is that they really weren’t carrying a lot in the way of traditional Japanese teas, and that most everything was in sachets…
That includes this tea, which I tried a sachet of earlier in the week. I think it’s a Tokyo exclusive blend, but I’m not 100% sure. I like the name a lot though. Taste wise it was just fine. Smooth and very lavender forward in a fragrant and slightly perfume-like way. However, the florals felt well balanced out by a more woodsy and pine-like undertone of the juniper and just a hint of more herbaceous basil. Though ultimately soothing, I felt like it could come off as busy and unpleasant if you aren’t a fan of any of the more strong and polarizing ingredients in the blend.
