A fruity-green tea
It took me a while to figure this tea in my mind. The dry leaf looks similar to a Huang Shan Mao Feng I’ve had before, just more yellow; since I was expecting a green tea kind of fragrance, I was very surprised to smell very powerful fruity notes.
Actually it's not simple to brew this tea as it will pass easily from watery to bitter (though this could be a sign of high antioxidant content). At first the tea may be very delicate and almost insipid in comparison to the aroma of the dry leaf, but using a larger amount of leaf for a shorter infusion time leads to a unique palette of flavours: grass, flowers and ripe fruits.
Last but not least, the aftertaste: all the fruity and flowery flavours will set in your mouth forever… well, almost forever, and my tongue is always pleased to handle such a sweet and long lasting taste!
A lovely tea that makes me crave summer.
