EkoDrinking more of this year's Longjing (龙井茶) green tea that a friend got me back from China!
This one really took me on a journey! 🌱
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.
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!
Finally, it has a sweet chestnut after-taste, and long-lasting umami notes once the nuttiness faded.
Brewed 80-90°C, not timed, and too many times to count!
Gaiwan & tea scoop bought in Teemaa
Pitcher bought in Nari Tea Lab
Cups by Oondobang
Tea pet by my friend Pirjo

Hi, I'm Eko!
I've been interested in specialty teas since ~2017, and I'm currently working in a tea house located in Finland.
I'll post pictures & notes on the teas I drink, as well as the tea houses & tea events I attend 🍵
I hope to find other tea enthusiasts on the Fediverse!

BillyLast day of vacation in Florida. The weather is alternating sun and thunder storm. I had this first flush golden green before the power went out this morning. Now we are waiting for the weather to clear up so that we can get in the pool.

𒀭Wiiお姉さん 💜 🏳️⚧️Poll was a tie so I decided to go for some oolong. Japanese oolong in a japanese gaiwan; feels kind of weird

tsunamiFirst time trying Taiwanese oolong. A jin xuan milk oolong from floating leaves in Seattle. So buttery and thick 😋 reminds me of kettle corn.
