Pre-Chingming Yin HaoChina, Green Tea

Small soft curls. Very fuzzy, mouselike. Sweet white chocolate scent. Pale yellow-green like young almonds. Light yellow infusion with clouds of leaf fuzz and bubbles. Muscat grape aroma. Sweet and velvety flavor with a hint of bacon. Distinctive and appealing.

Upton Tea description: "A 2014 production Pre-Chingming Silver Tip green tea from Yunnan province. A profusion of downy white tips thread through the curled green leaf. The tea liquor has a pronounced vegetal aroma and a light flavor with notes of cucumber, celery and corn silk. The finish is mild with nuances of sweet berries."
