I wasn’t sure at first whether to buy this or not, but when I showed the photo to my husband he insisted that we get it. Now onto our initial tasting notes;
First steep: light, straw or hay flavour with a nice grainy texture and hint of sweetness.
Second steep: sweeter, has a fuzzy buds texture. (if you know what I mean)
Third steep: bolder, more vegetal and reminds me of green tea a bit more now.
Overall from my initial steeping of this tea, I like it. It is a very new type of experience for me. Not a fav but still enjoyable.
100ml gaiwan, 2tsp, 3 steeps (40s, 50s, 1m)

The leaves kind of look like smushed cigarettes.
When I was a little girl, I had a hobby of drinking tea, which was a tradition of the people of the time. Tea is everyone’s morning drink, it helps to wake up and create a sense of euphoria before going to work, and this is also my habit of drinking tea every morning, at which time I only enjoy a very spicy tea and bitter, it was soaked with a heavy smell … And one day when I learned about the ancient tea tree called “Shan Tuyet” and heard the basic information about it, I started to fall in love and learn it. I went to Ha Giang, a northern province of Vietnam and went further, up the mountain and steep to see this tree, and I really did not believe my eyes, it was big and about 2 meters high, the area and the weather The cold and misty surroundings, all the scenery and the lives of the people around have made my heart beat wildly, I am excited and loved. When the villagers in that area let me try … Wow it’s great, when I smell it, I feel like I’m standing in the middle of a forest, it smells of trees and mountains, it’s great to drink this tea . And I decided to bring it to the world and make it famous both domestically and internationally.
