Bold and brilliant, it will forever be my go-to. I have a stash of it in my desk at work for when I need something that has the strength to get me through the rest of the day, as well as soothe even the most tensed places in my body and mind.

Most alluring fruity aroma and long sweet finish!

Quite perplexed with the dry leaf smell, I start off with the preparation with two table spoons full of leaves in my guywan. Two table spoons full is a lot of leaves and nearly a quarter of my guywan is full. My water is boiled and kept aside to cool, so that I can use it only after it cools down to 80 C.
Steep 1 for 2 minutes: The leaves have not fully unfurled but the liquor that steeps out is clear light green. The taste is light salty sea weed, vegetal like broccoli and has leaves a sweet after taste.
Steep 2 for 2 minutes: The leaves have unfurled into dark green coloured whole leaves accompanied by green buds. The taste is mellower but now the sweet notes more prominent towards a citrus finish

Aromas like a garden of flowers specially roses in a distant galaxy but unfortunately i have finished my last reserve of this wonderful tea. A clean light golden cup.
