It must be spring. Why? I craved green tea. I looked to my green tea box and I found only a few small pouches. And I was craving receiving new teas. Because it makes me happy somehow. Tea mail! It has arrived yesterday and even I took a bit of Yuzu Midori (yes, I know, I shall share some with you derk, as I know you love yuzu, and I will).
Anyway I was more attentive today to this tea, which is actually tea I already had so I know how I should prepare this tea nd how it is suppossed to taste like. But I have a plenty to enjoy… 50 grams – 1 heaped teaspoon I have used today.
It is very similar to the December experience — sweet, quite full of umami this time, sugar peas, smooth and a little broth like. Brews acid green, but it made me smile today as after-work tea. It has got nice caffeine boost as I have been sleepy before and I am not anymore.
I can’t wait to try gongfu it as well.

Sounds good! Is this from 2022? I always crave fresh spring green tea, even though I then sometimes let it sit in my tea museum for years.
Fresh greens are the best :) And that Yuzu Midori sounds awesome.
Sadly they did not say from which harvest it is. But based on best before date (and usual 2 years shelf life), it seems it is actually fresh one! I will add a sample to your box Leafhopper, so you could try it as well.
derk I agree, though it has been ages since a I had tea fresh as this one. I am still sipping down the samples from White Antlers. But it|s fine. I was a little disappointed about Yuzu Midori, but it may be only wrong steeping parameters.
Glad to hear the green tea is probably from this year, and thanks for offering to send a sample!
