Preparation
Dry Leaf Nose: Strong notes of jasmine, underpinned with the rich aroma of a classic China black Hunnan type tea.
Liquor: Golden brown and clear – so clear and visually crisp that it almost glows!
Flavour: Jasmine and Hunnan type black tea notes are beautifully balanced in this blend. The jasmine hits the palate nose first, gentle with only the most appealing and sweet, floral jasmine character. Immediately following are rich caramel notes of fine black, very oxidized tea. A delicate wild honey note rises in the background with a hint of sweet garden soil in the finish.The overall has a delightfully refreshing and palate cleansing character that lingers well without overpowering the palate.
Preparation
Dry Leaf Nose: Fresh and floral, with a warm and exotic spice note.
Liquor: Light golden green.
Flavour: A prominent floral note permeates through hints of pine and shea butter, the whole of which is complimented by a slightly sweet spice note.

Preparation
Dry Leaf Nose: Sweet and lively oolong tea, with ginseng covering the nose.
Liquor: Green with some cloudiness, with an aroma of ginseng leaf and oolong tea.
Flavour: A delicious tea with a great darker jade oolong character (similar to Tie Kwan Yin), complete with piney overtones and slight shea butter notes. The liquor has a rich crisp oolong taste with a strong and pleasing ginseng aftertaste. It lingers well and is excellent for several quality steepings. The first steeping has a very strong oolong character.

Haven’t had mint and coconut together. Sounds yummy!
Coconut milk reminds me of mint for some reason… I drank it straight from the Coconut in Mexico and I still can’t figure out why I think it’s minty :D
