This tea is a blend of Japanese bancha and Chinese Jasmine green tea. Interesting blend and it is also said it is low in caffeine, which I hope for, as I was drinking it at 7 pm — soon time to bed. Yep, alarm set to 5 am; then a swimming session (another 500 meters, at least) and off to work. I can’t believe I do this twice a week for almost a year!
Anyway, back to the tea. I have to say, it is pretty tasty! Jasmine is having just correct level; and green tea is fresh tasting with a little of sweet grass notes and little minerality? Also I noticed a little of fruits, but it was that little I couldn’t recognize in a single steep what those were.
A 50 gr bag costs 6.50 EUR, a tin 100 gr is for 19.90 EUR; twenty sachets, but with outer wrapping (that would be great for exchanges!), is for 10.90 EUR. That bag seems like a good price and good amount of tea for my yearly consumption.
I admire anybody with the gumption to actually leave the house/neighborhood in order to exercise! Walking up the hill to our little municipal park is about as good as it gets here.
Especially in winter!
