I’m really a fan of Gyokuro, and this is not version of it from Teavana. The tea is a nice bright yellow-green color, almost fluorescent looking. It’s got a strong green smell, that of artichoke or spinach with a hint of sweetness.
The flavor is more robust than other green teas I’ve had, nice astringency. Tastes lightly of fresh grass and earth.
I really love this tea, it’s very calming, and has a tendency to uplift my mood more so than other green teas I have currently in my collection.
