Lovely! Absolutely lovely!

The aroma of the dry leaf is very vegetative and earthy – reminiscent of where I live – the Pacific Northwest. Specifically, the forest areas … it smells deep and green with notes of earth and even hints of wood. After it’s brewed, it has a stronger vegetative tone, not so much of the woody or earthy notes to it now that its brewed… it almost smells grassy, but it doesn’t taste “grassy” … this tastes more like a light, gentle and soothing vegetable soup!

I love this Goomtee Silver Green. It tastes so fresh and vibrant … and it’s oh-so-smooth. Sweet and pleasantly vegetative. Light fruit notes along with gentle (very gentle) spiced tones… tasting a little bit like what I’d expect from an oxidized Darjeeling but, this one is much softer and smoother in its approach. It is still very clean and crisp … and very enjoyable.

A trip to ‘Instant Bliss Nirvana’? Humm…I had to check this one out! Thanks to my Sista, LiberTEAs, I was able to!

This kind of smells like a Vegetable Broth and Rice Soup. The taste is identifiably Darjeeling but with a hint of pine. It’s soft, smooth, sweet, and slightly sweet-woodsy and fruity. I like it very much!
