I picked this up at Teavana a few weeks ago, after one of the sales associates alerted me to a glitch in their system that caused this tea to ring up at less than $2 per ounce. I can’t remember the actual retail price of this tea, but I happily bought 4 oz since the store was required to sell the tea at the incorrect price until the problem was fixed. I figured it would be a great chance to add some loose, unflavored green tea to my collection.
This is definitely one of the most subtle teas I’ve had. I brewed it double strength, and the taste is still extremely light – creamy, nutty, and reminiscent of lima beans. It’s also light in color (I only steeped for 1 min, as per Teavana’s instructions) and has a faint buttery aftertaste. Overall, I like it! It’s a great introduction for me into the world of pure, loose green tea.
Flavors: Lima Beans, Nutty
