The more you drink Japanese greens, the more delicious they become. Actually, you can apply this to any country’s tea. The palate develops differently as we taste different things. As much as we may like to drink different teas from other places we won’t develop our palate the same if we stick to one country.
This is a lovely Japanese green. The first infusion was thirty seconds. Silky mouthfeel with just a hint of astringency. The flavor is high in umami though not as much as a gyokuro. Also steamed veggie notes. There is a bit of fresh grass as well. The wet leaf of Japanese greens will always remain my favorite aroma after visiting the processing factory in Wazuka (Obubu Tea). Fresh leaves and deep steamed veggies.
