Martin’s birthday countdown AKA Your Daily Tea Cup Advent Calendar
Day 16
Another plain tea, but putting yellow tea in Advent calendar is interesting for sure. I could not find it on YDTC website; they have only tea called Yellow Sun there, and it looks like this one but not sure, so I don’t want to mix it up.
I have prepared it as a green tea, so not boiling water, shorter steep; afterall both is written in the list. So, 80°C, 2.5 minutes steep and voilá:
I got a very tasty tea, which tastes a bit more like genmaicha, but with fruity (tropical fruits) note. Yes, it was a bit roasted, a bit sweet, a bit toast bread like. It has been turning a bit buttery when it was cooling down, but overall enjoyable cuppa.
