Xue Ya

Green Tea by Camellia Sinensis

China (Fujian). Chinese green tea made of downy leaves that carry the mildness of white tea and the herbaceous aftertaste of green tea. Fresh, subtle and refreshing.

What a nice unassuming little tea. It’s mild but not low on flavour, which is nice and I think rare. It’s grassy, but really sweet. More like hay, I guess. Very creamy, too. Also, the leaves are really beautiful. Fluffy and downy.

I forgot about this tea until I noticed tonight that my cat had somehow chewed on the bag, presumably in one of his fits of hunger. He will go for anything even somewhat resembling the bag his food comes in.

It is so nice! Really mild, sweet, and a little smokey. I love it, and am glad to rediscover it. The package suggests a surprising 4-7 minutes, so I went for 4 and am surprised at how much I like it that way.
