Such a great breakfast tea!! EXCELLENT with breads and stone fruit, some light cheeses. So excited to be having some this morning!

So delicate! Not overwhelming at all. All the right notes in a springy balanced order, a spring chamber quartet in my mouth. Love it.

Beautiful, delicate, exciting- everything a green tea should be!

I quite like this tea. I prefer a weaker steep on most teas as I find it brings out the brighter notes while really allowing me to enjoy the deeper richness of the brew on the back end. This is indeed, as described, toasty and woody; I would add the floral notes on top reminiscent of traditional oolongs. Also, the shape is fantastic! Really interesting to watch steep. The journey of the brew is surprising. Peppery finish on the third steep. (second steep 4 min, third steep 10 min)
