A pan-fried green tea with a roasted chestnut aroma balanced by notes of fresh alpine herbs and sweetgrass. Picked in early spring when the buds and leaves are tender, this tea is refreshing, dewy and sweet.
The roasted chestnut aroma is exactly as described, and it lingers nicely between sips without ever turning bitter. I brewed a second steep and it held its fresh, dewy sweetness the whole way through—makes me wish I'd bought more.
The early spring harvest really shows—the leaves are so tender they practically melt in the cup. I brewed a second steep and it kept that fresh, dewy sweetness with a hint of alpine herbs, which surprised me for a green tea.
That roasted chestnut aroma is exactly what comes through on the first sip, and the alpine herb note keeps it from being too sweet. I brewed it a bit cooler than usual and the leaves stayed dewy and refreshing for three steepings.
