Tea of the afternoon…..
I think I am going to have to rewrite my views on green teas after this one. I will have to admit that words like grassy and vegetal were not at all appealing to me before today. I also think the experiences I had with green tea in the past might have been influenced by lower quality tea as well as poor preparation on my part. Now, I must admit that Teavivre is going to make a green tea drinker out of me. The tea is smooth, lightly vegetal, and I am even getting a hint of butter. There is nothing harsh or bitter about this tea. While it is a relatively new frontier for me, I will say that I know I like this one. The leaves are long and very green. Brewed up, they look like they could have just been plucked from the bush. I am going to see how it resteeps, but this is definitely going on my shopping list. Imagine that. Me, a drinker of green tea!
Thank you to Teavivre for the sample! But mostly, thank you for showing me how wonderful green tea can be.

Totally agree. Stash and Tazo were not good examples to form my opinion on all of green tea. Ahmad caused me to decide I liked flavored green. Teavivre made me admit I loved unflavored green.
Same here. My first grocery store greens were badly prepared because I didn’t know what I was doing back then and scorched it. It all just tasted like hot water.Once I had really good greens, I liked them. Now I crave them sometimes. Never thought that would happen!
