Dry: Lovely green furled Huang Shan Mao Feng tea leaves with bits of red safflower. A creamy and thick sweet fragrance with a hint of vanilla and spice can be found in the bag. It reminds me of eggy bakery treats like bread pudding or maybe custard and smells very good to my nose.
Steeped: Lovely clear yellow to very light green clear liquor. The vanilla is more apparent in the hot tea aroma coming from the tea pot and it does remind me of the way eggnog smells right before I take a big sip.
Taste: This is quite a delicious tea! I love eggnog and Huang Shan Mao Feng so I was really looking forward to trying this and I am glad I did. This is smooth, rich, almost buttery with vanilla notes and cream. Even the mouthfeel is on the thicker side for what is normally a very mild and refreshing light green. Although the taste does not remind me overly so of eggnog, it still does remind me of a creamy bakery dessert and is quite enjoyable. I usually prefer green teas straight, but I make an exception for this. :)
Flavors: Cream, Vanilla
