A wonderful green tea with just a hint of mint. Immediately warms your mouth and has a sweet, floral taste that gives way to an extremely subtle cooling mint flavour.
Company description not available.
This is a tea that was made more for an experience rather than taste. The mint is a subtle, very subtle cooling of the mouth, and that juxtaposed with the hot tea is very interesting. The mint builds and builds the more you sip on this tea. The green tea base is a Hunan yun wu, otherwise known as a cloud and mist green tea. On its own this tea has a slight mint flavour and is a wonderful green tea in and of itself.
I brewed this tea gong-fu style, without a rinse, first steep was 10 s, 15 s, 30 s. I have yet to do subsequent steeps, but the leaf has yet to fully hydrate and unfurl so she has more life in her yet. The smell of the mint in the dried leaf is strong enough that you know that it is present, but when brewed the resultant liquor only has a small hint of mint. There is a slight bitterness to this tea that I like. The same bitterness is also present in the base tea so it is not a result of the additional flavouring.
This follows in the footsteps of our other teas. Subtle flavouring, where we focus on the tea rather than the adulterants. Though starting with base ingredients such as this green tea, it is difficult to mess things up.
Flavors: Citrus, Floral, Lemon, Mint
