Sipdown 40 – 2024

Cold brewed this for about 4 hours. Refreshing! Really mild and smooth. Slightly buttery.

Sipdown 39 – 2024

Finished this at work a couple days ago and truly cannot remember a thing about it.

Mmmmm, this is good. Not sure why I gave it a lower rating previously, but the bag that I just opened is delicious. Honey, floral yumminess.

Sad this is already gone. So tasty and milky. Like a creamy lilac stew. Will probably purchase again at some point.

Finished off a 15g bag over the last few mornings. It’s lovely and bright, and has been a really nice tea to wake up with. It’s very forgiving for the first 5 steeps or so, but starts to get bitter quickly after that.

Didd not expect how reddish brown this steep would be, considering how green the dry leaf is. This smells so unique – spinachy, but also really floral (like lilac). Super umami broth. Like a veggie stew.

This smells super roasty. Like bordering on burnt? But the burnt aroma doesn’t translate as much to the flavor. Definitely more like a traditional hojicha. Nice and toasty, slightly caramelly.

I don’t drink a ton of green tea anymore, but a few weeks ago suddenly got this urge to have some. I didn’t really have any on hand, so of course had to make a Yunomi purchase (also pre-ordered some One River Tea 2024 harvest).
This was the first on deck. It’s nice! Mostly getting roasted seaweed with a touch of cooked greens.

Never quite connected with this one. It was pretty good. I found the sesame flavor unique, but I didn’t ever love it.

This is the 2023 harvest.
It’s really missing something. It’s flat and kind of tastes like sticks or erasers. Comparing this to the GABA I just had from Taiwan Tea Crafts makes this even more sad. That was much tastier (and slightly cheaper).
