Buttery smooth on the tongue, this tea exudes a tangy, creamy sweetness that grows on the palate and lingers well into the finish, where notes of raw, acidic honey and an indistinct floral bouquet are unveiled. It is somewhat similar to the Arakai Summer Green, but drops the grassy vegetal character and dials up the sweetness. Absolutely wonderful.
Loose leaf tea drinker since 2006. I began with Adagio and Upton and moved on from there.
My reviews are concise and only describe flavor and texture. I avoid the 0-100 rating scale, for two reasons. First, there is no objective measure and a score of 100 for a newbie could be 70 for an experienced connoisseur. Second, users may ignore the review itself and focus solely on the score, which could lead to an unfair assessment of the tea and possibly impact the merchant’s reputation and sales.
