I must admit my backlogs are quite backlogged due to oddball work schedules, holidays, etc. I found a moment where I didn’t want to write anything, but began making YouTube videos again; which lasted all but two videos. I ramble during tea sessions, which are likely 30 minutes or more, and cutdown to feature the sensible material which last about 2+ minutes. Lol.
Anyway, I drank this on Thursday during work. I followed the recommended time and temperature the sample bag listed (180F // 3-5 minutes), and it made for a gentle grassy tea. I noted that this was “equivalent to Japanese sencha, but less umami notes.”
I love their samplers! Teavivre is a great place to explore a lot of different Chinese teas. This one certainly looks very similar to a Japanese sencha in the photos!
