This is a green tea with a light yellowish liquor. This is an amazing and complex tea. The tea is quite floral without being at all herbaceous. Its most interesting quality you don’t taste it per se. At least I did not experience a strong taste upon the first sipping. Rather, it evokes an aromatic billowing feeling as it envelopes your mouth during and after you swallow. The most interesting complexity begins during swallowing and breathing because the tea scent/aroma is so overwhelming. Although there are many floral green teas this one has no bitterness and very minimal direct taste at all. The experience of drinking it is essentially entirely aromatic which is somewhat unique.

As to the tastes/smells themselves, the tea is very floral (though not infused with flowers) and slightly sweet. The taste is fresh, green, and bold without being bright or sharp. Needless to say the liquor is incredibly smooth. Successive pours are relatively consistent though the second is best.

I enjoy drinking especially floral green teas, Tieguanyin (铁观音) in particular.
