This one is such a treat to brew because it completely transforms in your gaiwan. Right out of the bag—while it's a bit nonsensical—the smell of the dry leaves brings to mind sweet emeralds. When you start brewing, the first few infusions deliver an incredibly clean, savory, and umami broth. As the leaves open up, the savory notes recede and the gorgeous floral aromatics take over. Don't let the thin, crisp texture fool you—this broth is absolutely full-flavored, packing a punch that leaves a tingly finish lingering on your palate.
What to expect: Full-flavored, crisp mouthfeel, lingering tingly and floral aromatics
