This was a fairly standard green tea. It had some explosive baozhong like aromas in the bag but after resting for a bit, it settled into a typical green bean flavor. There were some light spinach notes, a hint of cream, and a little fruitiness along the way but otherwise it was generic tasting. Not a whole lot of body or depth in the way of flavor. It wasn’t bad or off-tasting, just didn’t have any real character to it.
Taiwan produces some excellent oolongs but in my experience, Taiwanese greens are lacking and don’t really measure up to their counterparts from mainland China and Japan. I’ve got another green tea sample from Taiwan Tea Crafts so here’s hoping it breaks the mold and proves me wrong.
Flavors: Fruity, Green Beans, Spinach, Zucchini

Did you get in a new order from Taiwan Tea Crafts? I see they had a sale on and was going to take advantage of it but 6 teas were too much for me. I was also waiting on about 3 other teas that are my favs before I place an order. They are taking forever to get some of their 2019 teas in.
This was actually from an earlier order. Yeah the 2019 teas have been in low supply everywhere, likely due to the bad weather in Taiwan which affected the spring harvest. I usually just order samples from TTC to meet the $25 free shipping threshold. $60 is way too much tea for me as well. They also sold out of wenshan baozhong which is one of my must haves. I ended up ordering my spring oolongs from Mountain Stream Teas and Tea from Taiwan.
