EkoDrinking more of this year's Longjing (龙井茶) green tea that a friend got me back from China!<br>
<br>
This one really took me on a journey! 🌱<br>
The aroma of the dry leaves was very sweet and buttery, reminding me of french "sablés" cookies, and this was also present in the aroma of the tea broth itself, but along with the brews it evolved to become more fresh, even gaining some honeydew melon notes.<br>
The taste of the tea had notes of cooked green asparagus and peas, as well as cooked dough. This in combination with its full bodied texture felt like I was having a delicious meal!<br>
Finally, it has a sweet chestnut after-taste, and long-lasting umami notes once the nuttiness faded.<br>
<br>
Brewed 80-90°C, not timed, and too many times to count!<br>
