Green Tea

I needed a green tea so I saw this one in my “Yet to be First-Tasted Box”. Dry leaves remind me of an ali shan. The aroma is sweetly vegetal. Once infused…I know I will be doing multiple infusions with this one…it’s quite nice. It’s on the gentler side of the green tea spectrum. It’s color is brilliant yet soothing. The aroma of the liquid is faintly floral/sweet-vegetal. The taste is thirst-quenching, sweet, and smooth! This is a delightful green tea!

This tea looks quite a bit like an Oolong prior to infusing, the leaves are wound into pellets similar to a Tie Guan Yin. But the aroma is much more like a green tea with a distinct vegetative tone. The flavor is also much more like a green tea, it has a brothy texture, and a very smooth, lightly vegetative note. Very pleasant and soothing. A true joy to sip.
