Togo drank Bi Luo Chun Du Yun by Camellia Sinensis

947 tasting notes

[Spring 2021 harvest]

Marvelous looking, delicate leaves with lots of hair here. It’s an exceptionally elegant tea with a silky full body and a resolute chest warming cha qi.

Initially, I get a nutty, floral and meaty scent which becomes vegetal later – a bit like chard.

The taste profile has vegetal backbone reminiscent of thistles and fiddleheads, as well as some floral and tart carambola notes. Subsequently, protracted sweetness comes to the fore, while mild vanilla and black pepper notes linger in the background.

It’s not a cheap tea, but a fresh green tea of this quality is hard not to appreciate for me.

Flavors: Black Pepper, Floral, Sweet, Tart, Vanilla, Vegetal

I had been drinking Japanese green tea for a while before discovering the world of tea in 2017. I rarely drink blends and generally avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied.
