It smells like perfume, but in a good way!

There is something very delicate about this tea. It reminds me of David’s Orchid Oolong in the way that, once again, you can taste the flowers but they aren’t overpowering. I’m not a big fan of green tea, as I’ve said on more than one of these reviews, but I’m beginning to think that I’m just not a fan of BAD green tea, because this is just smooth and delicious.

It tastes like it was made with love.

What sort of green teas did you not like? Just curious.

B

Not sure of the names, but just some generic loose leaf gunpower green teas, and the teas that I’ve gotten over the years in various restaurants or boxes of tea bags that I’ve bought whenever I’m reminded that green tea is supposed to be good for me…bland, vaguely fishy tasting green teas.

I know that at restaurants they can use the wrong water temperature (boiling, lol). Have you tried any loose leaf green tea that was gross?

B

One Gunpowder blend that I think my old roommate made, I remember it just because the leaves opened super big and were a pain to get out of my tea pot, but I’m thinking it might be a water temperature thing more than anything else.
