251 Tasting Notes
I’m craving candy, and I don’t really want to give in to this craving, so I’m having some of this tea instead. AFter adding some warm milk and a splash of soy creamer, it tastes sort of like hot chocolate. (I added some sugar, too.)
I oversteeped it a bit in less water than usual since I wanted a really strong taste to stand up to the milk. It tastes good, but it’s going to take a bit of time to cool!
The tea leave have a very vegetal odor to them. Very intense. Like opening a package of very fresh mixed green vegetables. There is a faint citrus odor, but the green tea is definitely the star here.
Brewed the tea is very much a green tea. There is the faintest hint of yuzu. The yuzu flavor is just not strong enough for my tastes. I’ll definitely drink the packet that I have, but I’ll be ordering more of the Lupicia Yuzu. It’s YUZU with sencha where this is RYOCHUCHA with yuzu. I just want more yuzu flavor.
This has a really good tea base, not bitter at all to me. The ginger is very faint but becomes more prominent as the tea cools. I woul ddefinitely welcome this as a regular addition to my cupboard.
I’d like a little more ginger, but knowing that the ginger is faint, I would probably drink it on days I didn’t want something really spicey.
