Goomtee Spring Green 2012

Green Tea by Rare Tea Republic

Roasted pumpkin, honey, pecan

This unique selection was pan roasted to bring out the tea’s natural sweet and nutty notes. When steeped, the bright yellow liquor delivers notes of roasted pumpkin and honey. Very limited production.

This sample came in my latest RtR order along with a bunch of other samples.

I haven’t had fantastic experiences with any green darjeelings so far, but the description of this just sounded so nice, I thought I would give it a try, AND I need to feel perky because I am going out for dinner and to hear some music later.

So this was steeped for 3 minutes at 180 F and at first I did not taste much, but now that my cup is cooling down a bit I am getting some very unique flavors here. It’s vegetal but definitely a PUMPKIN note, wow! This is pretty neat. I also get some nuttiness here and a touch of sweet honey notes. For a green tea this is pretty far out, I almost wish I had gotten more but it isn’t cheap.

Glad I got to try this one, it’s enjoyable!

I’m just finishing off this sample today, I’ve definitely enjoyed this green darjeeling (see previous notes for more details).
