Dry: Dark army green twisty tea leaves blended with lotus stamens and nut pieces. Smells lovely! The savory aroma of the dry leaf underlies a sweet cream and roasted pistachio fragrance.
Steeped: Clear golden liquor. The scent is primarily creamy and rich and is making my mouth water before I even take a sip.
Taste: This tea is flavorful without the base being overwhelmed by other notes. The mellow Mao Jian is lovely and it blends well with roasted pistachios and that decadent creaminess that is in each sip. I am having it straight with nothing added and my husband and I are both loving it. I am super picky about flavored greens, but this one tastes natural and delicious. Yum!
