We are having 5 consecutive holidays in Japan. Usually tourist spots are packed with people, a lot of events are held. For tea lovers, this is the most exciting season and are willing to go to the tea areas and tea events. But, obviously, it is completely different this year. Luckily, I have enough tea at home, which helps me relax.
The tea today is Takachiho cultivar's Japanese black in Miyazaki.
A flowery and menthol-ish aroma is coming from the cup. It also has a nice round aftertaste. Together with a seasonal sweets "waka-ayu (young sweetfish)", which tells the arrival of summer. Although this is not the best "waka-ayu" that I've ever had, I feel that summer is just around the corner.
Stay safe!
