A very fragrant and pungent green tea of Simao that can be infused many times. Has the robust characteristics of Camellia Sinensis var. Assamica with a potent aftertaste that lingers in the back of the mouth. The leaves have been dried into extremely thin strands that slowly unravel and expand as they are infused. A delicious green tea!

Yunnan SourcingSpring 2023: Wow, this one has an “Indian spice” scent to the dry leaf/brewed tea – maybe like a garam masala? Has sauteed onions flavor, some oakiness, and a few herbal/spicy notes that come through into the flavor. Also a bit of pleasant grassiness, not too rough. It is nice enough, but not sure if I would seek it out again.
