Green Tea by The Tea Haus

Beautiful bright green hairpoint leaves with plenty of silver tips. These richly aromatic leaves produce a hearty, rich, sweet and smooth tasting tea liquor. An exceptional green tea for a modest price.

One of my favourite teas from the tasting today; the only tea of which I immediately bought 50g.

The dry leaf, which I got to smell, was very seaweed/fishy, much more like a very strong sencha, which, if I had smelled the leaf first, would have turned me off the tea entirely. I’m glad it didn’t, because the taste is absolutely amazing. It is sweet and light, with a surprising touch of an alcohol burn as it goes down. There is also a faint floral backhint, but not off-putting.

An amazing straight green, and a beautiful alternative to the senchas that I don’t care for.

Every time I drink this tea I am just blown away by it. It is just incredible – and for the price? Unbelievable quality.

I drank this all day – literally. Three healthy pinches of leaves (the leaves are long and twisted, which makes it almost impossible to scoop or measure with a spoon) in a large yixing, and it yielded six steeps. I think I could have done more, but there was other tea to be drunk.

This tea has a lot of flavour and a lot of depth, the character of it changing with every steep from very sweet and light to darker and malty. I cannot talk this tea up enough.

Made a whole pot of this today to help me with my writing. This tea is just incredible. Sweet and buttery, such a light rounded flavour, I savour every single mouthful.

Still as yummy as the first time I had it. Smooth and sweet, but I need to work on my brewing technique because a couple cups were a little bitter. Got five resteeps out of two pinches of leaves.
