Green grapes, with a hint of fermented fruit strength/alcohol, and maybe some osmanthus florals as well. Reminiscent of the Schedule White minis I recently tried, but much much much weaker. I really needed to search for these flavors. This is some weak and not very memorable tea.
I was sad to remember that I had a second mini to sample after I tried the first one, but I figured maybe the tea would redeem itself as they often do – My first impressions of a tea don’t always last. But now I think I can proclaim this tea as a real dud.
The potential is there, maybe, as like I said it shares characteristics with the wonderful Schedule White tea (which costs like seven or eight times as much but seems at least 20 times stronger). Maybe this is just a weak undesirable picking/flush or a bad growing season or something.
