Wow, so the nose this is very, very different from any white tea I’ve had before. It smells of corn, spinach and predominantly, lightly cooked zucchini. Maybe even hints of mushroom.
On the palette, my first impression is fresh peas from the garden. Mid sip it transitions into zucchini and dark, leafy greens, and then on the finish the peas are back with some green beans, and subtle corn notes linger after the sip is done. There’s some hints of earth and umami in here too. As I sip and it cools, the zucchini notes get even clearer.
The mouth feel started off pretty silky and there’s just a hint of astringency building, but that doesn’t come out in the flavour at all.
This is crisp and light, and just beautiful. Unlike any tea I’ve ever tasted before. This is tending your garden and eating the ripe produce straight from the ground. It’s vegetal but not at all grassy – it’s all fresh, juicy garden veggies.
Fantastic!
