Received this as a free sample. The dried leaves smelled vegetal. The light green wet leaves also had a pleasant vegetal aroma. The liquor is a pale yellow. According to their site, one can brew it strong and you’ll get a bold and nutty tea or can brew it light and get a crisp and light tea. I made it my typical gongfu style which is 6g in 110 ml in a gaiwan, starting with a 25s infusion after a rinse, adding 10s each new infusion. It has a distinctive flavor. I liked it. Vegetal, grass, stonefruits, umami, marine plants, nuts. I did get a slightly nutty flavor but I also got the crisp and refreshing part so maybe I brewed it in the middle of what they recommended hehe. Good taste profile, and a good balance regarding bitterness and astringency.
Flavors: Apricot, Fruity, Grass, Marine, Nuts, Peach, Seaweed, Umami
