35 Tasting Notes
H’s note on the pack says, “Tastes like a hug.” It’s more jasmine than tea for me, but none the worse for that. It’s floral and exotic and relaxing all at once. (Spring 2017 harvest)
Flavors: Floral, Flowers, Honeysuckle, Jasmine
Preparation
This might be one of the most refreshing things I’ve ever put in my mouth. Loads of green acidity and bitterness, but only in a good way. The complexity isn’t lost at all. Like many shades of green. Repeated steeping lost some of the zing but added to the breadth of flavours.
(H score 6/10, Autumn harvest Sept 2017)
Flavors: Citrus, Cucumber, Cut Grass, Grass, Green Apple
Preparation
2nd flush, late May 2017. Brewed in and poured from a pyrex jug. My notes on the bag say “fruity, honey, malt? 7/10”
Edit: revisiting this I like it more, and taste loads of candy-floss.
Flavors: Cotton Candy, Fruity, Honey, Malt
Preparation
Bit of a gateway for me. The first tea I tried after reading the faq on reddit/r/tea, linked articles and finding a supplier. At first it just tasted like astringency and chlorophyll. It took a little time for my head to adjust to the tastes of teas. Then suddenly I got tastes of hay and meadow scents and huge refreshment. Hooked me.
Flavors: Astringent, Grass, Hay
