Pseudo-sipdown. Another one that I have one packet left, which will be shared with a friend.
I love this one. It’s so different from spring and even summer sencha, with no umami at all. The leaves are enormous and there are many stems mixed in. It has a very smooth and nutty flavor, with oodles of sweet hay and dry grass. More grainy than vegetal, but there is a bit of bok choy in there. It’s brothy. There are even some woody, autumn leaf-y notes that make me think of hojicha. A clear, sweet aftertaste lingers on the tongue.
To me it just screams “autumn”. An unusual and wonderful tea that will certainly make its way back into my cupboard.

You do a great job of making it sound delicious!
Aww I’m glad! It almost reminds me of a dragonwell I would say, but not quite the same.
No wonder. I love dragonwell.
Yes, I agree that you do a great job of making it sound delicious. I have bookmarked this tea company. Gah, I was doing such a good job avoiding temptation when I was off of Steepster!
Ha ha, sorry! Let me know if you’d like me to send a sampler of their teas, I have plenty to share. ;)
Cameron, I adore you! thank you for your kindness. You DO know that I am WAY behind on all tea things, don’t you?
Aren’t we all…? XD
And so we are.
