Hunan Mao Jian from Harney and Sons
Style: Mao Jian Green Tea – Region: Hunan, China70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5

I tend to like Mao Jian teas a lot, and I still liked this one, but it was my least favorite example of it that I've tried. It was unexpectedly smooth but lacked edge or bite, and I think this bite is one of the things that I most appreciate about this type of tea.
Dry leaf is wiry and curved, very dark green. Qui...

The aroma of this delightfully fuzzy tea reminds me of a mix between the muscatel of darjeeling and the delicate green of a Pai Mu Dan. Once the tea is brewed it takes on more of a floral aroma which blends well the the notes that are already present.

Second infusi...

Another delightful, fascinating, and unusual tea from Imperial Tea Garden. The dry leaf is exclusively tips, slightly twisted, and shows white downy hairs. Its aroma is airy and light, but it smells a bit like tobacco, and has toasty, grassy tones too, with a hint of camphor.
The description of this tea confused m...
Moon Swirl White Tip from Imperial Tea Garden
Style: Green Tea – Region: Hunan, China83 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5

A fascinating green tea completely unlike anything I've ever sampled before, although admittedly, it's my first tea from Hunan province so that may explain the novelty for me.
