88th Night

The timing of the harvest really comes through in the cup—each steep releases that fresh, grassy sweetness I've only found in true first-flush teas. I brewed it using the suggested cooler water and it stayed smooth with zero bitterness, which is rare for me to nail on the first try.

The umami hits right away, but it’s the silky, almost creamy mouthfeel that keeps me coming back for another steep. Each brew tastes a little sweeter and greener, which makes the whole pot feel like a quiet ritual. A real treat for anyone who likes their tea delicate yet complex.

The timing of that harvest really comes through in the cup—there’s a brightness and freshness I haven’t found in other green teas I’ve tried this season. The hand-picked leaves brew up a clear, delicate liquor that’s perfect for a slow afternoon.
