Note: I mistakenly applied this tasting note to a different tea. It’s now in it’s right place.
It’s quite windy out, so this tea seemed like the perfect thing to try once I got home.
This is also the first Yunomi.us tea I’ve tried brewing western style (1 tsp, 8 oz, 82C, 3 mins), and I have to say that while it’s weaker in taste, I much prefer it this way – no blast of umami astringency to contend with.
It’s still a bit sharper and “greener” in taste than a Chinese green, but I think I’m going to stick with brewing my other senchas, gyokuros, and houjichas using this method.
