Yea…this is green tea alright. And it does seems like it has a sweet/sour aftertaste…it’s good and interesting.
Dumb question … I’m guessing the “eyebrow” refers to leaf shape? Or does it make your eyebrows quirk strangely while you try to figure out what it tastes like?
Yes
:)
I found this online
The shape of the leaves is reminiscent of an eyebrow, hence the word “mee or mei” which means eyebrow. Chunmee translated is “Precious Eyebrow”. The leaves are hand-rolled in a traditional fashion
Had this tea this morning (2nd time since purchasing it) and it was excellent! The toasty/oaky/smoky (slight) flavor I personally refer to as the “keemun” flavor is very nice in this one. If you like Keemun Hao Ya A then this tea is a definite one to try. It’s organic to boot so that’s a bonus. I had 16 oz but wishing I had some more with me.
Preparation
I really need to check out Zen Tara. Especially now that they have their shop open. This one will be on the list of things to try.
I plan to have a comparison taste test with the Zen Tara vs. two other favorite Keemun Hao Ya ‘A’ teas within the week and will try to post a taste note on this forum.
This tea has a lovely nose, full of gentle tartness from the lemon and spicey black pepper. On the palette even over-steeped it was never harsh, simply more potent. The flavors blend exceptionally well, a new favorite cuppa when my throat and sinuses are feeling sad.
Preparation
This tea is pretty solid, but I’m not sure it can replace my morning staple: Zen Tara Tea’s Black Currant. I’m getting a lot more ginger than peach, but I may have oversteeped it a bit. Will try steeping for 3 minutes next time.
Preparation
This tea was EXACTLY what I was in the mood for. Something with a strong fruit overtone, but with the warmth and gentle spice of a ginger infusion. Unlike some other herbal blends I’ve sampled, even steeped for the full 5 minutes the ginger didn’t become overpowering. A perfect cup for those blustery fall and winter mornings, would be EXCELLENT with toast and jam :)
Preparation
An instant classic. As with many of Zen Tara’s blends, the nose has a prominant ‘candy’ note, which mellows in steeping. There is still definitely an overtone of cherry jolly rancher, but it is subdued and blends gently into the white tea. An office favorite here at MetaSpring!
