I don’t normally drink green teas but bought this on a whim. I visited T&T Ginseng in Las Vegas and was pleasantly surprised with their lineup of teas. Between this one and the Foojoy Gold Lungching I purchased, I think I’ve changed my mind about green teas. This one has aroma of green beans, and a pleasing blend of green beans and nuttiness in the flavor. Nice and strong flavors without much bitterness.

As an update on this one – It is a few weeks after I ran out, and I am definitely craving some more of this tea. Initially I felt like Foojoy’s Lungching was the better of the three greens I purchased from the Foojoy Gold line, but now I prefer this one. The spring freshness really comes through and make this a more powerful tea, I think. It is unlike any other green tea I have had – Nice and surprisingly strong, but not devolving into smokiness or more earthy tones. The strength comes through in the brighter fresh green and lightly nutty notes, all the while avoiding overly bitter notes.

Picked up a resupply on this one, and I still love it. This time around I am noticing more that this tea has a nice creaminess to it – a touch of a milky flavor, which is unusual.
