gunpowder. washed once. 2 minutes. in the office. let's see. if i like it more or less than my Sencha (they come from the same pusher). waiting for it to cool down a little.

Nice first impression.
Maybe a coppery aftertaste, maybe.
These green teas are so evanescent and subtle.
Extremely pleasant mouth.
There is something on the sip. what? who knows. I should make friend with some Chinese and get proper guidance through these shadows.
there is much more after taste than with Sencha

Now the second steeping (after 1 wash)

Interesting. More of something, something cleaner. Chemically cleaner. I cannot refer it to anything like fruits flowers or foods. But to a color maybe. yellow orange pink like those Mary Quaint fabrics Click image for larger version

Pleasant after taste.
Overall Sencha is better. For me at least. which means that I will have to finish this gunpowder before buying more green tea, as it is quite nice anyhow.
