What always astonishes me is the size of #oolong #tea-leaf after brewing compared to its initial size.😃

The Da Yu Lin #Taiwanese #oolong #tea. Either yesterday my tongue was too sensitive, or this oolong has some kind of “explosive” taste, slightly pricking the tongue at the time of drinking and then.😃 The aroma is strong and energetic, full of flowers. It was an interesting experience!

The Gyokuro “jade dew” #Japanese green #tea.

There is a thing about green teas that almost no tea is green once brewed. It’s usually yellow. On the other hand, there is yellow tea, which was once the drink of the emperor and one's circle. As you see, I don’t have a clear picture of tea coloring and naming.🙂

Nevertheless, Gyokuro’s drink color is indeed green. I don’t remember its taste clearly, but it was good enough to purchase more.

After drinking this one, I decided that drinking oolongs so often is not the path that I want to go. This kind of tea is highly nuanced, so I feel like I need some time to rest and miss it before taking the next one.

The Genmai Cha #Japanese green #tea.

Well.😅 Usually the whole point of drinking teas like a boss is to take what’s derived from Camellia sinensis and feel the rich taste without any extra aromatization. However, this doesn’t work for Japanese teas as far as I can see. Here is the #greenTea mixed with… roasted rice. Altogether brewed, it feels like a popcorn.🤪

For me, it’s a tea attraction, something like Lapsang Souchong.
