Taste : Freshness is the first impression to the pallet. It shows a slight citrus hint at the beginning that followed by a rich nutty flavor and finished with an unforgettable green touch. The fragrance is high that can be felt deeply on the back. The taste is sweet and exquisite that followed by a long lasted “Hui Gan (after taste)”.

Tips : When you brew Chinese green tea in a gaiwan, always leave a little bit of tea in the gaiwan between each infusion. This is call “the root” and will allow you to get the best of the green tea.
