Tea Review: Benihomare First Flush Black Tea from Fuji (Thés du Japon)

Benihomare First Flush Black Tea from Fuji
Thés du Japon
Type: Black
Origin: Japan, Fuji
Product Description: Not provided.

Temperature: 208° F
Amount: 3 grams
Steeping Time: 3 minutes

The dry leaves have berry, antique wood, and floral notes. 

The liquor is bright red with a sweet and heady aroma of flowers, fruit, and berries.  The taste is bold and moderately astringent with floral-like notes and a sweet, dry finish.

This was a particularly bold tea that reminded me of a strong breakfast blend.  The flavor became more astringent by the second infusion.

This tea was received as a gift from a third party.
