I’m back…again :)
Thank you, thank you Angel from Teavivre for this free sample!!!
For anyone that has not tried Teavivre, I highly recommend it, their teas and customer service are amazing.
So life has been getting in the way of tea, what a bummer :(
OK on to the review…
This dry tea smells like pickled cabbage to me. Delicious, just delicious.
The recommendation on the package for this tea was to steep for 3-5 minutes. But I don’t like my green tea too strong, so I brewed only for one minute. The brewed tea is a very light hay-like colour. The taste is quite light. In hindsight, I could have steeped for longer.
The brewed tea has the vegetal, cabbage, bean greens type flavour. It is smooth and very slightly sweet. Even though it is smooth, there is definitely a crisp and clean taste to this tea. This is my favourite type of green tea. Reading the description on this one, it says it is a high mountain tea. I quite like high mountain oolongs, so I am going to make an assumption that I will like high mountain greens.
Thank you again Teavivre!
Edit: A two minute steep yields a thicker liquor, the flavours are a bit stronger but not by much.
