Episode 352: Imperial Blend

December 18, 2015

Someone from Wooree Tea in New Zealand contacted me and sent a sample of their Imperial Blend to try on the show. I was very intrigued, mainly because this is a South Korean tea (and I've never had South Korean tea). Thanks for sending this so I can squeeze it in before the end of the show!

After a not-so-great green tea recently, I'm glad to have something to really reset my palette. The taste on this is nice and smooth with some buttery sweetness reminiscent of young steamed veggies like green beans. Great mouthfeel, though I don't know how well this might stand up to multiple steeps. Either way, this one's a winner!
