iced, at krankies

Good tea for night time.

Great bedtime tea. Soothing, tasty, and just an all around feel good tea. Steeped with boiling water 5-6 minutes.

I like this more when not comparing and contrasting with other green teas.

Probably my least favorite from the tea tasting. It’s good, but I much prefer http://www.steepster.com/teas/takaokaya/genmai-cha to it.

I finally got around to another cup of this, and this time brewed it strongly based on my last tasting note. This cuppa wasn’t watery, it was quite definitely a green tea with a slightly earthy taste. I liked it!

A bit watery taste, but you know you’re drinking green tea. A bit of an aftertaste.

I hadn’t had this in a while, and apparently my tastes have shifted. Or maybe it doesn’t hold up well over time? I still caught the earthy tones I tasted the first time, but just doesn’t stand out as what I’m looking for when I want to have a cup of green tea. I could, however, see how this one might grown on you if you gave it a chance. I’m just not sure that I’m interested in working that hard to like it.

On another tea note, one of my twitter friends shared an article with me this morning, that I think you might like: http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2010/jan/31/tea-drink-alexander-mccall-smith It’s by Alexander McCall Smith on his tea addiction. :)

I appreciate the lower caffeine dose, and could see this as an evening cup. It’s darker than the rest of the Japanese green teas in the sampler pack, and earthier.

good, but a bit weak

earthier than the sencha deep roast, but still a classic green tea taste.
