Premium first harvest tea leaves are picked and carefully crafted into our Teahouse Edition, giving it an exceptionally smooth flavor profile best appreciated when sipping as traditionally prepared tea.
We were impressed with the body and sweetness of this tea. These desirable traits come from the umami found in the young tea leaves. The tea is fixed green, rolled and dried in ovens to preserve the sweetness.

Will share this on a forum I am part of where it will be appreciated by others working in the same area, and a look at drivebase suggests there is more here worth passing along too, definitely a generous resource that deserves a wider audience than it probably has today across the open internet.

Liked the way the post balanced confidence and humility, and a stop at zenvani maintained the same balance, knowing when to assert and when to acknowledge uncertainty is a sign of mature thinking and the writers here have clearly developed that calibration through what I assume is years of careful work on their craft.
