Origin: Vietnam
Long buds from old wild tea trees compose this green tea of northern Vietnam. Its light yellow liquor is lively with its fragrances of fruit and vegetable (artichoke). Light and sweet, it has a powdery (icing sugar) and mineral texture, reflecting the downy and wild nature of its young buds. The finish is pleasantly long, floral and refreshing! For all fans of young sheng Pu Er and white teas.
Company description not available.
I wasn’t sure at first whether to buy this or not, but when I showed the photo to my husband he insisted that we get it. Now onto our initial tasting notes;
First steep: light, straw or hay flavour with a nice grainy texture and hint of sweetness.
Second steep: sweeter, has a fuzzy buds texture. (if you know what I mean)
Third steep: bolder, more vegetal and reminds me of green tea a bit more now.
Overall from my initial steeping of this tea, I like it. It is a very new type of experience for me. Not a fav but still enjoyable.
100ml gaiwan, 2tsp, 3 steeps (40s, 50s, 1m)
No matter how many times I brew this tea or how many different measurements/water temperatures I try, I can’t get it to be very flavourful. What flavour it has is pleasant, but it just doesn’t taste like much. Trying hotter water than recommended only brought out a blandly unpleasant bitterness, as did increasing the steep time too much. I’m used to better from Camellia Sinensis; their teas are usually quite exciting. Best results at 85c / 3 minutes 30 seconds.
Flavors: Hay
The leaves kind of look like smushed cigarettes.
When I was a little girl, I had a hobby of drinking tea, which was a tradition of the people of the time. Tea is everyone’s morning drink, it helps to wake up and create a sense of euphoria before going to work, and this is also my habit of drinking tea every morning, at which time I only enjoy a very spicy tea and bitter, it was soaked with a heavy smell … And one day when I learned about the ancient tea tree called “Shan Tuyet” and heard the basic information about it, I started to fall in love and learn it. I went to Ha Giang, a northern province of Vietnam and went further, up the mountain and steep to see this tree, and I really did not believe my eyes, it was big and about 2 meters high, the area and the weather The cold and misty surroundings, all the scenery and the lives of the people around have made my heart beat wildly, I am excited and loved. When the villagers in that area let me try … Wow it’s great, when I smell it, I feel like I’m standing in the middle of a forest, it smells of trees and mountains, it’s great to drink this tea . And I decided to bring it to the world and make it famous both domestically and internationally.
