I am not very confident with green tea, to me tasting a green is like playing lottery.
I find greens a little capricious especially because of the bitterness we can sometimes get (even if we steep the correct time)
This time I won at the lottery ! Thanks so much to cteresa for permitting me to taste this fantastic blend – I am just surprised you didn’t review it yet-sure you will asap your cold will disappear :)
Delicate and refined green tea base without any hint of bitterness nor astringency.
I get more the fruity notes (berries)and behind, in the supporting role the floral notes (rose is the floral leading note to me and then lavender)
I really enjoyed it – did anyone tried it iced ?

Sounds like an interesting green. I, too, usually find greens too bitter and when fruit is included it is often too tart for my tastes. Rose and lavender sound like a good addition.
I have had it, but did not want to write the taste notes then because i think I did it not quite right and want to try again. Plus for some reason I am in a mood where flavoured greens seem to not quite work for me in the same way as blacks.
My feelings are more or less the same of yours – this is typically an awesome blend, the scent, oh I would so buy it as a perfume.
I also think there was a definite and very interesting thyme note, and rosemary maybe as well? but the thyme was there, which was so unusual but worked so well.
iced, that is a good idea, though not sure if my stash will last long enough for me to try it.
and oh, they make a rouge de provence – which I sniffed and am definitively getting 50 grams from one of these days.
you made this one sound exquisite!
