This tea overflows with vital force! The dry leaves exude a deep umami aroma, awakening the energy of the head and setting the stage for a remarkable experience. Upon brewing, the tea reveals a lush jade color, visually captivating and inviting. The umami taste envelops the palate with sweet notes and a robust vegetal flavor. The mouthfeel is incredibly smooth and pleasurable to drink. As I savor this tea, I feel a gentle rise of energy to the top of my head, accompanied by a subtle pulse at ...

I have deeply enjoyed the experience of this excellent Gyokuro. If you are a tea person, you are most likely familiar with that moment when you open a fresh bag of tea. The aroma of the leaves tell us a lot about the tea we are about to drink. Upon opening the bag for the Gyokuro Wakamushya, I could tell that the tea was of very high quality because of the deep green leaves and thick, sweet aroma. The tea itself is delicious and is stimulating and relaxing at the same time. The brewed tea has...

A very fresh Shincha Yakushima Kuritawase, a Japanese tea that enchants with its fresh and complex bouquet. At the first sip, a lively aroma envelops you, where the unmistakable marine notes of nori seaweed and a hint of savouriness gently emerge, giving the palate a unique sensation. The perfect balance of sweetness and umami gives an extraordinary freshness, leaving a long persistence in the mouth, with an aftertaste reminiscent of unripe grape skins, a childhood memory. Perfect for a morning ...

My new favorite matcha for lattes! I love brewing pure tea and tasting the complexity of the tea itself, but I am not a hater of lattes and milk teas and other mixed tea drinks as a treat when I can still taste the tea and the other flavors as complements. I have found many uses for it due to its vibrance, versatility, and balanced flavor! I am blessed to have many specialty cafes owned by Japanese tea brewers who are passionate about making good matcha near my home so they are always creating...

A Revelation in a Cup – Gyokuro Green Tea Discovering Gyokuro was less like trying a new tea and more like stepping into a quieter, more intentional version of life. From the first sip, this deeply emerald Japanese green tea offered not just flavor, but presence. Its delicate umami, smooth vegetal sweetness, and whisper of ocean breeze grounded me in a way no other tea ever has. There’s a quiet elegance to Gyokuro—refined, unhurried, almost sacred. It taught me the beauty of stillness, of savo...

I tried Nio Teas’ matcha in my latest video and… wow. The color, the aroma, the creaminess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everything came together so beautifully.... As soon as I sifted the powder, I could already tell it was special: vibrant, fine, and incredibly fresh. When whisked, it turned into this silky, frothy bowl of pure green comfort. The taste is smooth and naturally sweet with no bitterness, exactly what I look for in a daily matcha ritual. If you want to see the full preparation, check out my vide...

Some tasting notes i could detect during different phases of trying this tea: Dry leaf - cured parma ham (prosciutto), smoked salmon and cream pastries, wakame, white soy sakura arare, sakura leaf senbei (reminds me of those two savoury snacks from a sakuraco box I bought) keloggs cereal and a yeasty note of freshly kneaded dough for baozi buns. Wet leaf - baked salmon (but not in the fishy sense) with fresh lovage leaves and lemon juice, hint of white pepper, hot clay, hint of dried rosewood an...
