Organic Jade Sword Green Tea | Mao Jian

When you open the bag you can smell the deep fragrance of the dry leaves, which I associate to freshly crushed olive oil and there is no trace of the strange earthy smell often found in cheap green tea. The dark green leaves are long in shape and when you pour hot water over them a nutty aroma reminiscent of Dragon Well comes out... I like to imagine that this is how the air of misty tea gardens of China smell like!
 The crisp flavour cleans the mouth, giving the sensation of the tea leaves in all their freshness. This makes the Jade Sword the perfect tea to be sipped throughout the morning. 
It’s very easy to brew, you can even use a simple glass, but I wouldn’t recommend multiple infusions as it will loose quickly its fresh taste. Jade Sword tea is also delicious when cold-infused. Its flavour is very balanced and it won’t release much bitterness, just steep it in the fridge overnight and you'll get a wonderfully jade coloured drink. Definitely the perfect everyday tea with a great value for it’s price, superior to many other teas of the same price range such as the Gunpowder.

Perfect example of an everyday tea. Very fresh and you can get this lush pineapple tang out of it. Clean and crisp.
