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.

Liked the careful selection of which details to include and which to skip, and a stop at bauxcircle reflected the same editorial judgement, knowing what to leave out is just as important as knowing what to include and this site has clearly figured out where that line sits for the topics it covers regularly.

Reading this on a long flight and finding it the best thing I read across hours of trying, and a stop at admetric kept the streak going, when content beats long flight reading you know it has substance because flight reading is a hard test of a piece given the alternatives available everywhere.
