The tea leaves are made of large-leaf variety black tea buds that covered with gold downy fuzz. The tea buds are bundled into cone. Looks like a small pagoda or snail.
Each tea cone is a bundle of around 3 gram tea leaf. 1 piece tea cone is enough to brew a nice cup of black tea. 2~3 tea cones for a 500ml teapot.
Once brewed, the tea cone gradually unfold into a chrysanthemum, yellowish brown in color.
Loose-leaf tea made easy:
Place 1 piece tea cone into a mug, steep it along with milk or honey. And you get a nice cup of afternoon black tea. You don’t need to worry about the annoying tea residue floating everywhere—-the tea leaves are already bundled together.

This tea makes me so happy, because I’ve finally found a yunnan gold tea with the same hints of sweetness, smoke, and leather that are in RiverTea’s Golden Yunnan! I’ve been so sad about the demise of RiverTea because it meant I couldn’t get any more of GY, and I’ve been trying lots of Yunnan teas since then to find something that compares.
So far – up until today’s tea! – I’ve been disappointed. I keep getting sweet-potato-ish Yunnans instead of the smoky, leathery goodness like this.
I am beyond the moon with happiness now that I’ve found a replacement! (By the way, KS, you should try this too!)
I also like the fact that this comes in the cone shapes. It’s perfect for a cup, and 2 cones would be perfect for a teapot. I’m seriously considering buying 100g of this – 50 cones in total.
Many, many many thanks to Dexter for sending me this in a swap. Hooray!
Flavors: Leather, Smoke, Sweet
Awesome! I knew someone had to have a similar tea. I love the sweet potato Yunnans too but man, I’m a sucker for smoky leather. I reviewed several Esgreen teas a few years ago. I recall them all being decent enough. I’ll have to give this one a try. Thanks for the heads up.

KS, which ones did you review? I’m seriously considering an order and I’d love some recommendations on samples.
Looks like I reviewed 11 of them back in 2013. http://theeverdayteablog.blogspot.com/search/label/Esgreen
