This premium Chinese green tea comes from the private reserve of our suppliers at the Phoenix Collection. These high quality leaves brew a classic Chinese green with balanced, refined flavors. Enjoy this elegant selection as part of your fine tea collection or give it is a perfect gift for tea lovers.
The dry leaves are a dark mossy green color. They are small, young leaves twisted and curled into tight uniform spirals. They give off a rich, sweet umami aroma with notes of grassiness and brioche. Once steeped they brighten in color, and unfurl into long twisted strands revealing light russeting. The stewed leaves have a light toasty aroma, and more prominent grassy notes.
The liquor is pale yellow with a light green tint. The aroma is light, and smooth. The palate is medium bodied with balanced flavors, and a lush finish. Top notes of umami introduce sweet, toasty mid tones ending with a light grassy touch.
