Another big thank you to Angel and Teavivre for sending me a sample of this tea.
What a delightful sample. I was expecting it to be quite light but it actually has a really wonderful aroma and taste! It reminds me of a dragonwell somewhat. There is a sweetness in the aroma of the steeped leaves. It is very juicy in the mouthfeel with a slight peachy floral flavor mixed in with grassy notes and buttery honey notes.
There is a lot going on in this cup! The wet leaves turn out like a dragonwell too but a bit less fluffy and downy.
This is a hardy green too! I got distracted by local news and over steeped this tea in water too hot. I had forgotten I had added water to my Zojirushi and it reboiled so the water on my second steep was at around 208 and then I proceeded to let it steep for at least 3 minutes lol what a mess one would think but nope its still wonderful! A great green for the most “spacey” tea drinkers out there.
I really do like this one. Light, buttery, a little nutty, slightly floral but not too much, with just slight notes of honey and peach.
Sounds great! And that water heater is definitely going on my Christmas wish list!
I love it I am sure you will too. Put a big star next to it on your list :) lol
