A blend of Chinese Mao Jian green tea and elderberries. Mao jian is a sweet, delicate tea with pleasant vegetal flavours of sweet peas, asparagus and bamboo and light florals. Elderberries are an uncommon ingredient, but a healthy one that offers us a berry flavour that’s very complementary to the green tea and a faint tartness. A fantastic green tea!
