Ahhh… So nice to relax with a cup of tea after a long day of being in the kitchen. I generally crave green teas more in the evening, and I remember seeing Oolong Owl’s review of this and thinking it sounds amazing. The leaves are light and fluffy and they vary quite a bit in size; their color is a muted grey/green. Dry scent is hay and an almost vinegary tartness.
Hmm… This is fairly tasty, but I was hoping for those lovely nectarine notes that Owl described. The beginning of the sip is mostly straw/hay and a touch of grass. The apricot (and dryness) starts to come out near the end, and the aftertaste does taste like fresh apricots. Overall, it’s tasty enough, but I was expecting more fruitiness.
Flavors: Apricot, Astringent, Grass, Hay, Straw, Sweet, Tart

Interesting. I have the Pekoe ( not the OP) from this estate. When I brew it right and don’t overleaf it it has these lovely peach tones. I might have to try the green when I see it again. I usually see it bagged here but it might still be worth a try. You could try a shorter steep time. I usually brewall my greens no matter what style I brew them for around 45s.
