The following review is of China Green Tips in a normal tea bag, as opposed to the whole-leaf satchet version.
True to its name, the aroma and the flavor of China Green Tips are indeed similar to the vegetal and fresh qualities of a Zhejiang green tea made from small and vibrant leaves. Apart from its basic characteristics, this tea does not have a lot of complexity, but complexity is not really necessary given the basic style and price-point here. Overall, for tea in a tea bag, China Green Tips is quite authentic.
Note that the infusion for this tea should be done in a controlled and careful way. It is easy to scald the leaves or infuse the tea too much. Some past experience with Chinese green teas is a big help. With that being said, this tea can be really great (for a tea bag tea, that is).
