What an interesting tea! Thanks, Anlina, for the chance to try it. :) The leaves are much darker than I would expect for a green tea, and neatly twisted. The scent as it steeps is very floral, but also a bit vegetal, with maybe a hint of bread? Sipping, it’s also predominanty floral but quite complex. I think I’m getting some zucchini and a slight butteriness, though maybe that’s the creamy mouthfeel. It reminds me a bit of a first flush darjeeling, but less fruity and more floral. Neat! :)

Flavors: Butter, Floral, Zucchini

Preparation
185 °F / 85 °C 2 min, 0 sec 3 g 10 OZ / 295 ML

Well it has been over a year and everyone I know thinks my tea obsession is a bit out of hand, so… I guess I’m not a total newbie anymore. :)

I’m drinking a lot more pure tea these days, though I still love a good flavoured blend too. Current favourites: Chinese and Taiwanese blacks, fresh Chinese greens, oolongs both green and roasted, sheng puer.

I really love companies that buy directly from tea farmers, and have an emphasis on quality and sustainability. Favourites: Verdant, Whispering Pines, Eco Cha, White 2 Tea. I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere, so I buy almost all my tea online.

For hot tea, I’m usually brewing in either a 100ml gaiwan, or a 10oz mug with a steeping basket. For cold tea, I cold brew overnight in 500ml mason jars.

My cupboard on Steepster doesn’t include small samples, just the ones I have at least 15g of. So if you see something you’re interested in, I probably have enough to share. :)
