Popular Tasting Notes
Received from a friend, unsure of the vendor, but in a silver package with a green border and the tea character on the front.
Large flat almost translucent leaves. Classic Tai Ping Hou Kui look.
One of the most unique looking teas I have brewed in my 100ml gaiwan. Enough leaves to cover the bottom and then some.
Flavors: Very light and sweet. Grassy with very mild vegetable notes. A long finish with a slight tart flavor. Very subtle tart flavor on the back end. There’s a mild woody note that is pleasant and the tea reminds me of green beans.
For someone who has never drank tea before this was a nice start, I had a sample in the store and was instantly hooked. I enjoyed it after dinner when I felt it was to late in the evening to have something else to eat but still felt I needed something. Can see this being a staple in my new tea cupboard from now on!
Flavors: Fruity
Been a while since my last teas confession, please forgive me.
Calm is my goto tea in the evening.

Roasted Mate is apparently unheard of outside of South America.
It is completely free of bitterness, and you can tell that it has a high level of Theobromine in it- AS IT TASTES LIKE CHOCOLATE ON THE PALATE!!!
Yummy. It is weird to me that regular raw mate would have been introduced to the United States first. I would have brought this to people first as it seems way more palatable, in fact it is much easier to have people try this as their first taste of Mate.
