Korea Jeju Sejak Green Tea

Super smooth green tea I had yesterday. It was thick, green, savory, sweet, and loaded with Umami that’s balanced by sweeter corn notes. It rivaled some higher end Japanese I had in its flavor in mouthfeel. I’m personally picky with Green teas, but this one was very enjoyable in short steeps. I timed each steep at 25 sec, and did not exceed 35 until steep 4. I started getting a little tea drunk with how much tea I’ve been drinking. There was some evolution in the later steeps, with some bare fruit hints, slightly melon like, but it was predominantly grassy and savory. I could meditate with this one since it strikes me more as a health nut tea.

While this is not the kind of tea I personally prefer, I really enjoyed the change of pace and can at least recommend as something that rivals some more expensive Green Tea from Korea and Japan for its mouthfeel and umami alone. It was also had a lot of longevity that withstood me. I had to stop at steep seven personally, but I could see it going on. Definitely a tea snob tea who know thing or two about greens that want something affordable and flavorful. I’m curious what the oolong was like in comparison. I’ve had Korean oolong, and they are usually roasty and nutty, but if the green was this rich in flavor, I can only guess what the oolong would be like.
