Description

The leaves are large, silver and green in appearance with a somewhat straw like fragrance, which is the result of the leaves being dried out naturally rather than pan-fried or steamed (as is common in green tea processing). When brewed, this tea produces a slightly pale liquor with a pronounced pinkish brightness. The flavour is complex, quite sweet and floral with nutty and peachy undertones – think sugared almonds! Overall the flavour is very light and airy but will change and develop with longer and repeated steeping.
