5g/~100 ml, ~1 minute steep @ 70C, second steep around 15 seconds at 80C
This tea has the wonderful, umami, vegetal aroma that I’ve quickly come to know and love from kabusecha with a flavor to match. It does differ from the other kabusecha I’ve been drinking. Maybe this sounds kind of basic (and obvious)…but it tastes…stemmier. Like the difference between eating the leafy part and stemmy part of a dark green. The flavor is slightly less in your face, slightly fresher. I know Holly spent a lot of time sourcing this tea to find one that didn’t have an overly-fired taste and it shows! I’m not sure which green I would most liken this too, but I’m sure I’ll figure it out as I drink my way through the 95g I have left!
