From Kettl

A beautifully deep and aromatic Kabuse from Yame, Japan. Ayame has beautiful, glossy jade green leaves. Made from the gokoh varietal, this complex tea has little astringency and a fresh aroma and taste. Expect deep marine notes coupled with forest pine, clover and a rich savory mouth-feel. Deep green color.

Yame, Fukuoka

Origin: Yame, Japan
Leaf: Scents of salt, very delicious smelling dry leaf.
Method: 1 tsp tea, 6oz H20 , 170F 45"
Liquor: Super pretty light after dinner mint green color. Love
Flavor: Wow, so good. This is salty and buttery. Intense flavor, like clarified butter. Yet it is also clean, crisp, and smooth. No bitter, no grass, very VERY good green tea. YUMMMMM

Just re steeped this,,,you can with these type teas if you do about 10 seconds or less because now the leaves are filled with water. As soon as you see that pretty green,,,it’s ready. Same delish flavors,,,,,love this.

From the Steepster Select Box,, August 2014

A nice green tea. I’m very new with the green teas, but I liked the buttery notes that rounded out the typical green tea grassiness nicely.

Very subtle but fragrant tea leaves left a smooth and nutty cup of tea after the first steep and a pleasant second steep with similar nutty overtones and a corn-like sweetness which is very pleasant!
