This is a shop favorite green tea. It has a nice roasted flavor, but brews light green, not brown!
High Mountain Green
Green Tea by New Mexico Tea Company
The tea plants are grown high in the mountains in Fujian, China. For two hundred days a year the plants are shrouded in mountain mist. The tea leaves can be steeped hot or cold, producing a rich green tea flavor with smooth after taste.
A teaspoon of these full leaves blooms in hot water and makes a beautiful green brew with an aroma of toasted vegetables and a slight floral perfume. The drink is both toasty and tasty, with just a little hint of flower and some tannin on the finish. It’s a bit like sipping a bag of those vegetable chips you can’t put down. This is also an excellent tea with food. I was surprised at how this tea complemented a salad with tortellini with sun dried tomatoes–almost like a good Chianti. Extremely versatile, and a bargain to boot.
