My samples of the new spring harvest of green teas from Teavivre finally arrived yesterday! I picked through them this morning and pulled a pouch of this tea out to have first because this was my favorite of last year’s harvest.
Mmm, there are few things like a really fresh green tea for spring. It’s kind of amazing. And this Huang Shan Mao Feng is just delicious. One thing I love is the intense notes of buttery chestnuts in this. Those are what first hits you, followed by the fresh green flavor of crisp snap peas. There is a light sweetness that grows as you drink the cup. I was glancing through some of the new flavors, and I liked sugarcane as a possibility because when you chew on sugarcane it’s not just sweet, it’s got a planty-ness to it as well from the cane. The sweetness isn’t as intense, but it has the same quality to it.
Definitely still love this one and glad to have some of it again!
Flavors: Butter, Chestnut, Peas, Sugarcane
