I received a sample of this from Angel and the folks at TeaVivre. Thank you!

I need to get to the pool tonight since the weather didn’t pan out for a bike ride, but I am dragging my feet and getting stuff done at the computer. This seems like the perfect companion in my procrastination.

I am unsure what to make of green tea. I have had some cups that I love and others that I dump out as soon as I take the first sip. Half of the cups I have never even written tasting notes about because I never even make it that far. I played it safe with this one. I made the water to the low end of the suggested temperature and steeped on the low end of time. This is wonderful! I can see a nice summer tea in my future. This is a light, slightly sweet vegetal tea. I am so impressed! There is a buttery feel on the tongue that is very nice. There is also absolutely no bitterness! Yes, finally a green tea that I love!

Preparation

I started drinking tea while on a 4 month long cycling trip through South America. It seemed to always be a great way to warm up when I was cold and it was always available everywhere. Mate was the big tea of choice down there and it was also a great way to get to know people. When I returned home, my sister introduced me to Teavana and this launched me into the realm of loose leaf tea.
