[Spring 2019 harvest]

This GABA tea is pleasant, but it didn’t strike as particularly special.

Dry leaves smell of cinnamon buns and poached pear, while during the session I also get a kind of metallic scent on top of those. The taste is sweet, fruity, tannic, and lightly woody. There are notes of pear, dill, mint, and a sort of char bitterness. I found the profile somewhat disintegrated to be honest. The liquor texture is very interesting though. It has a body kind of like red wine and a foamy, chalky mouthfeel.

Flavors: Astringent, Char, Dill, Dried Fruit, Fruity, Mint, Pastries, Pear, Sweet, Wood

I had been drinking Japanese green tea for a while before discovering the world of tea in 2017. I rarely drink blends and generally avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied.
