Chanoka Kukicha Green Tea

This tea begins with a light hay note that later transforms into a flood of these more flowery flavor profiles. The lilac you notice from the smell of the wet leaves, transforms beautifully into the taste. The finish is starchy with notes of cereal and sweet corn. The second infusion plays more on these citrusy and floral notes. The tea becomes drier, with less of these sweet and starchy flavors. The minerality of the tea becomes more perceptable and it retains its long finish.
