I had a quick sample of this this morning while I was packing up the box to go. It really is surprising the color of this tea. I really enjoyed it.
I thought it was sweet and grassy, a really nice green. I would like to have this one again, for sure.
And I can, because Stacy told me that this is the Butiki Steamed Purple Green.
The leaves are extremely dark for a “green” tea. Darker than any Darjeeling I’ve ever had; almost black. No real difference in color between this and the plain purple tea. Smells like a green tea: grass and veggies. Tastes green as well. This tea has a great mouth-feel: big and rich. I don’t really notice the veggies in the taste, which I consider a good thing. Long, rich finish. I should time the finish: it goes on for minutes. As I drink, I am noticing a growing astringency; Not unpleasant but strong enough to overcome the nice body of the tea.
