The hand-made melon seed is very curly on the edge of each piece of the tea leaves. Each piece of the tea leaves are slim and fold tightly. The top grade melon seed is dark green in colour and covered with subtil frost.
The light, fresh,green aroma of the dry leaves is natural and fascinating. The brewed liquor is in bright yellowish green colour. Clear and clean.
The taste is sweet, refreshing and long lasting. One sip of the beautiful liquor, the faint fragrance will flow through your body.
Melon seed is the most mild tea I have ever seen. You won’t feel any uncomfortable even when you drink too much or drink with an empty stomach.
