From Tiger Lily Tea

Tea scented with Orchid flowers has always been quite rare. Today, only Sichuan province tea makers produce this tea by means of careful scenting processes that uses fresh Spring blooming Orchids and young tea buds grown on Sichuan’s Mengding Mountain. A rare scented tea that balances the complexities of high quality green tea and the delicate scent of the orchid flower.

A very lovely scented tea. You see Jasmine scented teas everywhere, but this is one of two places I’ve seen Orchid scented green tea. If you enjoy jasmine, check this tea out while the supply lasts!

I used 3.8g/235ml, 85C water, first brewing was 30 seconds +10 seconds for each additional brewing.

In the first cup you are met with a lettuce-like flavor mingled with honey, orchid, and gold raspberries. You have the honey, orchid, and gold raspberries linger in the aftertaste. The liquor is very light and smooth.

In the second cup the liquor is even more buttery and smooth. Your tongue is immediately met with a very strong flavor of honey, melon, and orchid mixed together. The lettuce from before is much lighter in flavor. In the aftertaste there is orchid, melon, and a little elderberry that mingle together.

The third cup is much milder in flavor. Butterlettuce and a hint of green beans are present in the liquor. The aftertaste is a gentle mixture of orchid and honey.

I went up to six cups and the remaining were more or less mellower versions of the third cup. Very nice!
