Description

An early spring harvest green - unusual for the Keemun region - this tea features gentle chestnut notes and complex fruit-like, mellow sweetness with a delicate yellow cup color. Once you have heard its lovely notes, you will return to it again and again.

"I like this tea a lot. At first it reminded me of jasmine tea because it has a subtle flowery aroma a taste, but it's even better! I usually prefer stronger green teas, but this one is a great change from the usual. Even though it's light comapred to gunpowder, it's packed with pleasant delicate flavors that always have me going back for a second cup."

"Very good lightly sweet green tea. Another nice one when u dont want the stronger greens and there is no grassy taste."

"Awesome green tea. One of my favorites! Mild tone, comparable to anji but much deeper flavor and smell. "

"One of my favorite green teas. I love it in the afternoon because it doesn't wire me as some stronger green teas can"

"GREAT, GREAT, GREAT! This is my favorite tea - hand's down. If you like smokey-flavored teas, you'll like it. I like it sweetened because I really enjoy that wonderful "sweet & smokey" flavor combo. Since the fabulous Gunpowder tea seems to be so hard to come by lately, this Xue Ya Ballad tea is my alternate...and it's keeping me happy!"
