This is a free sample from Teavivre, provided for review. Thank you, Teavivre!

The aroma was so powerful when I tore open the packet. There is nothing quite like the smell of fresh tea, and it really encourages me to order my greens as I drink them instead of stockpiling a ton and letting them get old. These leaves shouted, “Fresh!”

The leaves are so pretty – light and fluffy, and there are so many packed in here. I decided to steep them in the large Kamjove that I ordered from Teavivre.

We are at the beach right now and I had something after supper that I almost never eat – a Krispy Kreme doughnut with chocolate frosting and sprinkles. I needed something to wash it down, and I once would have poured a big glass of milk or popped open a soda. But we were sitting on the deck and the wind was becoming a little chilly and I thought a good green tea would be perfect.

Yes, it really was. This time, I felt like there was a strong green bean/asparagus scent. It was a little brisk and therefore just perfect for clearing the palate. I think I made a total of five steeps from the sample packet that were all combined in this pot, and even though I gave them fairly short steeps this tea was plenty strong. It could even have used a slightly shorter steep time.

I love asparagus, so this tea was a guaranteed hit with me.
