“Berryish” Green Tea

This is a pure green tea with a "berryish" flavor (not flavor added, just a berry tasting profile).

This was super delicious and refreshing! I didn't know what to expect when I brewed this one, but I was pleasantly surprised. This is a lovely, smooth green tea with notes of strawberry and elderberry. I brewed this a couple of different ways-gongfu style, normal western style, and also cold brew. I loved this cold-it really made the tea sing.

Highly recommend this one, and I'd say this would be perfect in this super crazy heat!

Maybe in 2021 it was premium green tea. But in 2024 it has no freshness of green tea, no taste, no any aroma.
But it's sold as premium green tea. Not fair.

Comment by TEASIDE:
We always specify the year and season in the product card. It's a little weird to expect a 3-year-old tea to taste like fresh green tea.
This is the green tea from the OLD trees and should be treated like loose sheng pu-erh.
That is, it is a pu-erh that has been roasted in the green tea style, which is why we have categorized it in the green tea section.
However, despite a fairly strong initial heat, this tea develops nicely with age.
It has plenty of berry and fruit tones, as you can tell from other reviews, though the tart herbaceous notes of fresh tea are certainly long gone from it.
Moreover, we have this tea pressed in 200g cakes and we will post it soon - apparently, we will have to post it in the sheng puerh section to avoid such misunderstandings.

Berry forward with the flavors of cherry, currant, and strawberry. Earthy and vegetal notes in the background, like roasted asparagus. It has a slight bitterness when brewed in a western style, which isn't bad, but it is much more balanced when you brew it a few times gongfu. I actually enjoyed the later steeps more with this tea.

A very pleasant tea. The flavor is the perfect mix of a deep earthy green tea and the sweetness of cherry, currant, and blackberry. There is a slight astringency that pairs well with how sweet the berry notes are. The flavors and balance of the tea holds up well through multiple steeps. Very reminiscent of the deep, floral, and sweet notes in a high mountain oolong.

This beautiful smell of dried strawberries and sweet berries, with a great, refreshing herbaceous bitterness is just gorgeous. It is most reminiscent of Mao Feng.
