I also got this through the regional group buy. This is a very nice green tea. It has a light tasting natural sweetness to it. It had very little umami taste and something of a vegetal taste. It was overall very good. As it was naturally sweet I wasn’t tempted to add sugar to it. I would also note that this was a very light colored green tea.
I brewed this three times in a 200ml kyusu with 6.9g leaf and 175 degree water. I steeped it for 1 min, 1.5 min, and 2 min.
Flavors: Sweet, Vegetal
Preparation
175 °F / 79 °C
6 g
7 OZ / 200 ML
Got to use 195 like it says… Trust me
Didn’t notice that.
And neither did I… Weirdest thing in awhile… Green tea at 195
My variable temperature kettle doesn’t do 195. I will have to try 190 or 200.
I did 190. I liked how it came out.
