The small is similar, but very different from the Traditional Mao Xie. It is not toasted smelling at all, and is much more “green” both visually and aromatically. Smells strongly of kale and spinach.

First steep was for 2:00 min at 195F, with 5g for 8 oz. Tastes like artichoke, spinach, and a little bit like kale. Very good depth of flavor. Doesn’t taste anything like the Traditional Mao Xie. It almost tastes more like a green tea than oolong. However, I’m still improving my palette, so I can’t be 100% sure.

Held up well to 4 steeps. I enjoyed this tea, but not enough to buy more of it.

Flavors: Artichoke, Kale, Spinach

Preparation
195 °F / 90 °C 2 min, 0 sec 5 g 8 OZ / 236 ML
