Gaiwan brewed.

Incredibly sweet aroma of dry leaves, like dried fruit and almonds, with raw vegetal notes arising after first rinse.

First steep is sweet and umami with notes of steamed green beans, steamed corn and pork broth. Upon second steeping, the sweetness softens and the tonkatsu broth quality becomes the most pervasive with a mineral, peppery spiciness arising. Further steepings become more and more spicy , the sweetness becoming only more subtle while the savoriness continues boldly.
