Fine twisted young leaf that resembles a chun mee style but interspersed with silvery down-covered buds. The aroma of this Fujian green is quietly floral but gives way to a smokiness, reminiscent of gunpowder but not nearly as bold. The cup is light, yet smoky with a semi buttery mouthfeel. In the finish a dry white grape note, and lingering smoke.
TEA TYPE
Green Tea
CAFFEINE
Moderate
Green tea usually offers a gentler lift than black tea or coffee, with enough caffeine for a light, refreshing boost.
STEEP
180° for 3 mins
Use the shorter steep for a smoother cup; over-steeping may taste bitter.
