Tasty.

Great value for money This is a great tea to drink, starts of like roasted nuts quickly turns sweet

Like you would expect from an early spring tea, it's very light bodied. Not as complex as a later mao feng, but perfectly light and drinkable. Weighs very little too, so you get a lot for the money.

A tippy first flush green tea that is mostly whole leaves. Color is not an intense green as in other types of green tea The aroma of the dry laves is a little muted, but what you can smell is pleasant. The wet leaves have a stronger, sweet aroma that reminds me of hay with some floral note mixed in. 1st Infusion (5 g in 100 mL gaiwan @ 165 deg F for 20 s): Same sweet aroma with a liquor that has a pretty light yellow color. The taste is a little delicate compared to other green teas. A little bit of a nutty flavor coming through. Tea is smooth with noticeable thickness in the mouth. 2nd Infusion (@ 165 deg F or 25 s): Stronger, nuttier flavor with some nice umami characteristics. If I were tasting blind, I might be tempted to say this is a white tea. Flavor is not too light, but it also does not linger too long on the tongue. Color is a little bit more yellow. 3rd Infusion (@165 deg F for 30 s): Noticeable drop off in sweetness. Still a bit nutty in flavor, but astringency is more noticeable and there is a little bit of bitterness on the finish. Leaves a bit of a grassy note in the mouth. 4th Infusion (@180 deg F for 35 s): Just for fun...grassier and more astringent. Not really all that more bitter than the third infusion. This is a tea that most people would be willing to drink for three infusions most likely. I have also tried this tea via cold brewing (5 g in 474 mL - 1 pint - overnight). This yields a surprisingly strongly flavored tea considering how light the appearance. There is a much stronger floral character with the same sweetness mentioned before. Also a little more apparent bitterness in the finish than when brewing hot. I ended up cold brewing a second infusion with the same leaves for about 4 hours and then combining the two infusions. It moderated the strength of the flavors some. It is kind of amazing how teas can differ based on hot vs. cold brewing methods!

Grassy and sweet, nutty and toasty. Ill put a handful in my 16oz thermos, fill it with hot water and just sip on it throughout the day while running errands. Eventually some bitter comes thru, of course, but it adds another dimension to a great green tea.
