Description

Sweet young buds, not quite open, make up the leaves of this fine tea. The pale yellow liquor releases a softly vegetal yet floral aroma. Delicate and light, this tea refreshes with the fruity-floral character of a dewy spring morning.

"An excellent surprise! Much fuller aroma and flavor than I would have expected from leaves that don't really unfold or bloom while steeping. Haven't had the bitterness problem that other folks have had -- I steep at around 172 for 3 minutes, but I think the key is that I'm using fairly scant spoonfuls . . . initially I thought I'd need more since there was so little expansion while steeping, but no, they give up a *lot* of flavor from a small number of leaves. This is a new fave for me."

"Another amazing tea( loving my adagio experience so far). Very young perfect buds, a round taste, great green tea smell. You can steep cup after cup ( usually 3-4 before the flavor runs out). Perfect for any time of day and will definately refill once I run out."

"One of my favorite greens. A light and refreshing pine taste in the background that is delightful."

"I really loved this tea. I was not sure what to expect at first, but the aroma is fantasically organic and inviting and the flavor is even better!"

"To me it seems to end on a bitter note. It smells wonderful and has a rich color. "

"A little light and not too much of a standout, but still good quality."
