The tea is fresh and crisp with a good level of sweetness. We suggest to use water at around 90C and let the cool down a little bit to fully appreciate the flowery character of this lovely green tea

Taste : The subtle and long fragrance is very pleasant in the cup. And it gives an even more attractive fragrance when the liquor actually cools down. Freshness consistently shows along with the brewing combined with a pure and refreshing mouth feeling. The after taste is sweet and long lasting.
