Before tasting this green tea, I’d decided I didn’t like green teas. This tea is quite different from what I’d associated with green tea – it’s more delicate on the palate and (like miss sweet says) not too astringent.

yum yum yum. This is a lovely black tea. Be careful not to leave in the teapot though, can get a bit ‘stewed’ if over-brewed.

a good evening tea, or to beat the 3pm sugar cravings at work.
I like to mix with a little peppermint and honey.
