Comparative tea tasting is always fun.Especially, it is always interesting to have tea made from a rare cultivar. I had 5 different teas made from the same rare cultivar called "marishi".
All of the tea are made from the same cultivar, but the characters are different respectively depending on how/where they are grown, how/when they are picked, how they are processed etc.
The one (from Shizuoka) that has a "Goldilocks" umami and thickness with a slight melony aftertaste is my favorite.
