Adagio's Keemun Rhapsody


Spring is here, and with it soon comes the new harvests, particularly shincha--I am making my last bit of sencha stretch as long as I can. So in the mean time I continue to dig through my dwindling tea stash.

This is another one of the four new hong cha that Adagio released some months back.

The leaves smell...like keemun. The aroma reminds me of BBQ sauce. Kind of sweet, not smokey...hickory? I am pulling hickory out of my ass, as I have no idea what that smells like. Let's go with it.

The liquor is a clear, cola-brown. No hints of red.

The tea is pleasant enough. A some what mild keemun. Not bad, though I don't see myself ever yearning for a cup.

I am so off my game today.

I wouldn't have picked you as a Sencha drinker. It doesn't seem fancy enough. Don't you know that's a common man's tea?

:P

I think it's time I checked out this Adagio website myself...

:) There's nothing common about really good sencha.

Have you tried Minnetonka tea?

I highly recommend it. No PUN intended.

loose leaf tea lover said...

Wow, that tea smells like bbq?? How unique. The loose leaves resemble more like a golden monkey paw-esque type. I wonder if they are similar.

Pat Canella said...

Yes! I smelled BBQ as well! Didn't taste like it for me though, which is unfortunate :P

Keemun from Adagio Teas is a Mao Feng style tea. This tea would probably benefit from a longer than usual steep.
