Another rogue Teavivre sample included in a previous tea swap. This one was different from any other green tea I’ve had before. The leaves looked almost shiny/oily, and indeed when I was brewing the tea, I could see a bit of an oily looking sheen on top of the water. The leaves had a nutty aroma with a bit of grassiness, but really reminded me a bit of peanut butter. After the first brew, they smelled quite savory and brothy as well.
The tea had an intense nutty sweetness, more than in any other tea I have yet to experience. It had a moderately thick and brothy texture to it – I think this was a very savory tea, but the nuttiness provided enough sweetness for it to almost still be refreshing somehow. This is my first Mao Feng Green Tea – I’ll have to try out some more samples next year when fresh greens are coming out again.Flavors: Broth, Nutty, Sweet
