I am in a bad state to write a tasting note. I have a cough, cold and I feel I lost sense of smell (stuck nose doesn’t help). I am drinking recently mostly homemade herbal blend, but for family I was asked to make a tea. Green, if possible. “Finally, they have been a bit specific.” So, it is family pot tea. Well accepted by all!
Thank you derk, for local tea. Very local.
And now some of my impressions. It tastes a bit herbal to me, but overall it is smoth and mouth-coating. It is even a bit grassy for me, but imagine a summer grass and not freshly cut. Rather, still growing one, rather meadow for you across the pond.
Can’t wait for better time for this tea. The tea quality is high and the tea is nicely fluffy.

Ha! ‘nicely fluffy’ very descriptive! I always appreciate how steepsters are inventive in their tea notes. Hope you feel better soon!
Agreed! I hope you feel better. I also generally like fluffy teas.
Wishing you a speedy recovery, Martin! Love the use of “fluffy” too. :)
You’ll feel better soon, my friend.
I have to chuckle at your use of “local” and I hope you can chuckle, too :) For reference from your perspective, the driving distance from Svojetice (home of those beautiful linden flowers) to Helsinki (I know you’ve been to Finland) is 1673km. Twice that plus 500km is the driving distance from where I live to Fairhope Tea Plantation. The US is a big country!
I still haven’t made a note for this tea. I find that less leaf is better. There’s a lot of heft to the flavor even though the leaf’s fluffy.
I don’t know which other words I should use for nice, big leaves, with lots of air between, so I went for fluffy. Maybe it’s not the best word, but that’s my limited English.
As of today, I feel better, but I went for a PCR test just in case. My brother told me he had similar symptoms and the test turned out positive. After the test I really have stuffy nose and it’s not pleasant. I still have cough, so I think I will go see a doctor tomorrow instead of work. Maybe in between I will receive a results.
As for “local” for you derk, I meant it is made in the US. There are not many plantaions at all and it’s not especially local for you, but we use also “local” for small, independent comapanies, which aren’t under big chain — so maybe lost in translation a bit.
