Decent green tea with delicate spring-picked characteristics. But kind of the bare minimum for falling into the category of premium spring green teas. A little sweet, a little nutty, and the barest hint of some florals. Nothing about it really seems to stand out too much for me, and on top of that it feels a little stale; like it is losing its essence. Maybe this was an older lot? I don’t know. The vendor does not give dates of production. You can definitely find better teas at a lesser price.

After drinking this one quite a few times, I’ve noticed it is far more drying than most of my other teas. Which is honestly a little annoying sometimes. On the plus side, though, on the back end of this drying effect I notice a pleasant bouquet of florals which can be quite strong. Finnicky, though. The florals really come out sometimes and other times not so much. I’ll bump my score up another 5 points for this uniqueness.
Does have a bit of a buttery quality to it, and lasts for two or three steeps western style.
