Green Tea by Holy Mountain Trading Company
Organic Japanese sencha is fragrantly scented with pomegranate and flower petals to create this delicate tasting yet satisfying tea. The flavor is refreshing and there is an exotic, slightly sweet aftertaste to the tea liquor. Use 1 tsp. dry leaf per 6 oz. cup. Let boiling water cool slightly, then pour over leaves. Steep 2 minutes; may be reinfused.
This was one of the first teas I tried before I learned that time and temperature were important. As a result I steeped it for a long time in boiling water and I hated it.
I decided to try it again. It has a pleasant sweet fruit smell like warm fruit punch and light sweet taste. There is a slight amount of astringency but no bitterness. The liquor is golden with small suspended particles. I like it now. What a difference time and temperature make!
A trifle too sweet, but a reasonably good tea. Won’t buy it again, but it’s not bad.
