I really enjoy steeping this multiple times-- I have yet to find the limit on the number of steeps (vs me having too much caffeine). Clean and fresh tasting with varying undertones, I find it changes as I let it cool, too-- it develops a very sweet flavor. Will be ordering more!
I love a good green tea at the start of my day and this is on my list. Astringency paired with a light buttery flavor makes it a delight to drink any time of day.
I was shocked at how far I could push these leaves. The almost palette cleansing early steeps were grassy and a bit astringent and the later steeps had a silky buttery sweetness. This tea was a delightful experience and I think the leaves could have gone even further if I'd had time to keep brewing!
