168 tasting notes

The 17th, a good number for Sara, who gave me this custom tea advent calendar.

The smell is very subtle. It smells good, but nothing I can pick out.

Without using other tasting notes as a cheat sheet, I notice a honey note. It’s a really tasty tea! After reading the other tasty notes, I can pick out a bit of roasted and vegetal notes, but they’re very subtle. I imagine this would be great to drink while sitting under a tree, reading a favorite book.

Flavors: Honey, Roasted, Vegetal

Preparation
160 °F / 71 °C 2 min, 30 sec 2 g 12 OZ / 354 ML

Ah, a good one for Lucky #17, as far as I’m concerned. I miss this oolong. One day I’ll restock it… I always found it super toasty, like roasted nuts, with that floral honeysuckle sweetness. It was also amaze-balls cold-steeped, I think I went through it fast because I kept making it as iced tea.

I have enjoyed various teas most of my life, but have recently started exploring higher-end teas. Still, plain houjicha (loose-leaf or bagged) makes me feel like I’m in Japan.
