Kyoto Obubu's Tamaryokucha
came across a stash of obubu tea club samplers that we had lost in the moves, so I am enjoying a cup of tamaryokucha.
very full bodied, broth-like texture. not for people who aren't umami-pilled. thankfully, the oceanic qualities of Japanese teas are one of the reasons I love them so much! aftertaste is lingering
it's lost a lot of the vibrancy of color due to being two years old, but still tasted fresh. 50 second first infusion at 70*C, per the recommendation of the seller. Frankly might try 40 seconds next time.
gods I cannot wait to get a kyusu again.
