Tuyet San from Camellia Sinensis

Tuyet San

Green Tea by Camellia Sinensis

Origin: Vietnam

Long buds from old wild tea trees compose this green tea of northern Vietnam. Its light yellow liquor is lively with its fragrances of fruit and vegetable (artichoke). Light and sweet, it has a powdery (icing sugar) and mineral texture, reflecting the downy and wild nature of its young buds. The finish is pleasantly long, floral and refreshing! For all fans of young sheng Pu Er and white teas.

1 Tasting Note

Dorothy

I wasn’t sure at first whether to buy this or not, but when I showed the photo to my husband he insisted that we get it. Now onto our initial tasting notes;

First steep: light, straw or hay flavour with a nice grainy texture and hint of sweetness.

Second steep: sweeter, has a fuzzy buds texture. (if you know what I mean)

Third steep: bolder, more vegetal and reminds me of green tea a bit more now.

Overall from my initial steeping of this tea, I like it. It is a very new type of experience for me. Not a fav but still enjoyable.

100ml gaiwan, 2tsp, 3 steeps (40s, 50s, 1m)
