Just a superb tea, early on dominated by bitterness, later on by slick textures and energy that’s warming and bringing presence.

In the aroma I noticed notes of popcorn, peat, and physalis this time. The taste is obviously bitter with the characteristic grapefruit note. It also has a strong forest vibe with notes of moss, fiddlehead, wood, and leather.

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.
