The loose leaf looks great, though it is 6 years old. As derk noticed, as it is from her, and actually from White Antlers (Thank you both!). The leaf looks pretty much as on photo, though bit darker.
I decided to brew 3 grams in my 300 ml glass cup. I broke my gaiwan today, so I have decided to order a new one! From Tangpin (someone suggested them and I kinda liked some stuff they had and this was the “last drip” to place an order)
Well, it wasn’t remarkable tea. It was green with mineral notes, quite dry. Overall somehow too much hay-like. This tea seems I will get rid off soon somehow. Not really impressed and having way more another greens which needs to be drank as well and they are better.

Sorry to hear you broke your gaiwan, though new teaware is always nice! I also have trouble getting through my green teas, to the point that I rarely buy them anymore.
Ooh, they do have pretty gaiwan! Too bad I never use one… XD
I am not a gaiwan user, even though I have several. If we lived closer, Martin, I’d give you a few of them. Green tea is something I realized is not for me-so more of the good greens for everyone else! : )
https://ibb.co/28Hbvt0 This is what I have ordered! I hope it will come soon and in one piece :)
Oh, that’s beautiful! Happy brewing and drinking!
Oh, I think I was the one that mentioned Tangpin (unless someone else did as well). I ordered from them recently and have been very happy with my teaware so far!
I thought it was you Mastress Alita, but I wasn’t sure. Thank you for sharing it with us!
