This green tea breaks all preconceived notions about “grassy” green tea. It’s smooth, slightly sweet, and has bit of a grain like taste. Normally I turn down green tea because I expect it to taste like horse feed (and some do). I actually enjoyed this one, and it has the visual bonus of watching the whole tea leaves unfold as it brews. It’s just beautiful.
I'll get to the tea in a minute, but this new packaging makes a statement! I'm used to the bags, so this new tin set the stage that I was in for a treat. It's nice and smooth, feels good on the hand, and airtight. It will be perfect for refills later.
Tea: The aroma reminds me of greens, slightly roasted. Mouthfeel is smooth. The initial tasting note was seaweed lightly buttered, and then I was left with a lingering sweet floral aftertaste. I really enjoyed the complexities of this tea.
This green tea is a delightful experience. Its delicate flavor profile, is light green 💚 -both unique and soothing. The small, vibrant green leaves unfurl beautifully as you steep them, offering a visual treat alongside the gentle taste. A truly elegant and nuanced tea.

From the moment I opened the exquisite tin, I knew this tea was going to be a treat.
For the first brewing I followed the suggestions exactly - 3.5 grams of tea in approx 300 grams of water at 175° using a single-cup infuser. After five minutes, the tea was a pale golden green and smelled subtly like fresh corn. The flavor was light, delicate, and not at all bitter. There is a vegetal quality, but not the commonly noted assertive grassiness. I let a rebrew steep for a bit longer - the tea was lighter in flavor but still not bitter.
This could change your mind about green tea - and if your mind doesn't need changing, it will still delight you!
This is exactly what I want in a green tea. Crisp, refreshing, with a perfect blend of sweetness and bitterness. It was great both hot and iced. Would highly recommend! Also considering the flavor is remarkably unchanged on re-steeping the tea, you can get up to 51 servings out of 1 container, which is a great value for such a high quality tea.
