Drinking an American green tea tonight. Straight from Mississippi. I picked this company pretty much at random and went with it. I bought an an ounce of two green teas, one oolong, and one black tea.
Unfortunately I'm not a green tea expert and my experience there is pretty limited. Still, felt like reviewing it. Something different.
When I first opened the bag it came in, it smelled strongly of tomato plants. Vegetal, and hints of tomatoes. I might have been grasping at staws, but I was reminded of ketchup potato chips they have in Canada. Something about the initial aroma plus the dry nature of the material, maybe.
I'm a few steeps in now, brewing at 185 but feeling like it's not quite hot enough. It's a smooth drink! Very refreshing, lovely pale yellow color with lots of dancing white hairs. I should drink more green tea.
