Verdant Tea

Better than I last remembered. This one could become a favorite for people looking for a familiar and assertive flavor. Yet it is still so light in hue and delicate on the palate. Glad I tried it again.

Intense corn aroma dominates before the tea even hits the palate. Corn flavor is less intense than the aroma would suggest though notes of sweet corn on the cob are prevalent through all steepings. The sheer quality of this tuo cha is remarkable; a cooling pine exists throughout and by steeping 5 or 6 a minty cool feeling begins to numb the mouth. The complexity of this tea makes it hard to believe that they are only three years old. I made the mistake of only buying an ounce. Must go back for more!
