If any of you are in the market to try a new green, I would highly recommend this one. I just recieved it and automatically fell in love with it. It has a wondeful history and at 1500 years old possibly one the oldest styles in China. It was consumed buy the Emperor families of the Tang and Ming Dynasties . For more information

The leaf are tiny buds which are green, slightly purple and yellow. Very interesting
The liquor was beautifully delicate. Nice color which was wonderfully clear. It smelled like sencha, tasted like both sencha and tai ping with a oolong-y finish. Great! It was very sweet but was countered balanced with a playful bitterness.
Lovely buds! Who would of ever thought such tiny leaves could create such a punch! Thumbs up!
