Another non-rated tea yet?
Okay, let’s write something down. What-cha recommends quite fast steep (60-90 s), I think I did 2 minutes, but 300 ml of hot water. Ehm, hot? Warm! I have not used thermometer, but I think it was just around 75°C, maybe even lower.
The tea brews very light green colour with bit of lilac aroma. But when sipped! It is light, floral tea, slight vegetal / green flavours; just plain enjoyable tea! It is not much of complex, not the freshest tea as well (well, it is year old), but the taste is clear and no off notes! It is not overly vegetal, or too astringent too.
Flavors: Floral, Flowers

This pretty much sums up my experience with Taiwanese green teas, They are incredibly aromatic but have a simple flavor. Not really as complex as Chinese and Japanese greens.

It’s not bad choice when you are looking for something simple. I am not always fan of complex flavours, especially, when I don’t have much time to enjoy it fully!
