An interesting sounding green tea, mainly because it is a rare tea from South Korea. The dry leaf has a mix of sizes and the aroma of some kind of fresh vegetable. The brew is BRIGHT neon green but cloudy- cloudy with all those nutrients, I would imagine. The flavor is almost like, blindfolded, I would guess that it is a cup of matcha and that surely doesnt usually happen with all the green teas I taste, or really any of them that arent specifically matcha. So if you want the flavor of matcha, without actually drinking a cup of matcha, here you go. Otherwise, there is a hint of beans yet something fruity hiding in there. But mostly it tastes like matcha. Very fresh and lovely on a day when Im physically feeling cruddy. Quite good bright in color and flavor and reinvigorating. Better than I expected!Steep #1 // 1 1/4 teaspoons for full mug // 35 minutes after boiling // 2 minute steepSteep #2 // 43 minutes after boiling // 2 1/2 minute steep
This is a pleasant green tea that tastes true to it's description. It's a lighter green tea with a nice creamy/buttery mouth feel. It's a perfect tea for someone that enjoys a delicate green!
~Always in appreciation of an organic green tea offering. :-) The temperature and steep time is very important to follow for this tea or it makes for a lesser cup, which is a bit unusual since leaves of this thickness could normally steep another minute, but not so with this tea.
Fantastic green tea for the daytime, goes well with a dash of honey.
I felt this tea was unusual in a good way. Since it's roasted the tea has a unique flavor and isn't very astringent. It makes for a delicious afternoon tea.
