The first thing that struck me about this tea was its smell. As soon as I opened the package, I did a double-take. Was this a blend? I had never smelled a green tea before this with such a floral/herbal smell. The taste is very delicate. I imagine this is a love-hate kind of tea, but I love it. This is my favorite green tea I’ve tried. At 160, it can be steeped several times, and honestly the second and third steeps are better than the first. Really a pleasure to drink.

Flavors: Flowers, Herbaceous

Bio

1) I’m new to tea, and not at all a tea expert.
2) I don’t like astringency, and it doesn’t like me. Therefore, as a rule, I don’t like brisker, bolder teas.
3) As a rule I drink green and white teas straight, and I have black teas with cream and sugar. I haven’t had enough oolong tea yet to know how I like them.

Guide to my simplified ratings:
15 – No.
35 – I can see why others would like this, but I can’t force myself to finish the cup
55 – Not one I would buy again, but I will finish a cup
75 – A tea I might drink occasionally
85 – A tea I could drink every day
95 – A near perfect tea
