I drank this tea (2021 harvest) for a quick and dirty evening session without taking dedicated notes. I quickly regretted this after being just about blown away by it. I will definitely be revisiting this one in detail very soon, but seeing as this tea has no reviews as of the time I am writing this, I felt it necessary to sing its praises and offer some preliminary tasting notes. A green, grassy umami akin to sencha; above it, a layer of sweet vegetal-borderline-fruity notes; all topped with buttery overtones that remind me of shortbread (kind of like you get with some gyokuros). Held its own for at least five infusions. A really good one, especially for those fond of Japanese tea who are looking for something different, but not too different.
