I have received a tea bag of this one via Postcrossing again. A tea from Azores, that sounds unique. Let´s try it. Green tea, 3 minutes steep, about 90 °C water I guess. But cold cup, so maybe in reality even less.
Anyway – the liquor was nicely green with yellow notes, bit opaque. In aroma it was bit boring, grassy notes, not very present.
While drinking, debating with family about our garden, I noticed grassy otes, with bit of vegetal. Unfortunately again, quite weak. But it was fresh as well, so in the end it was not bad. It was not great – I certainly had better green teas, but as it is a pure green tea. Okay – I expected more interesting flavour profile.
Certainly interesting tea to try, especially because of origin. Maybe loose leaf version can be better.
Flavors: Grass, Vegetal
I would like to try a loose leaf tea from the Azores. What’s in the garden this year?
derk – I would like to know myself, but I have no idea :/
