Organic Misty Green - 2008 Spring Harvest
Origin: Zhe Jiang Province
Season: Spring 2008
Leaf Form: Broken leaves
Organic Cert: USDA, EU 2092/91
Misty Green, although cultivated from the tips of the same variety tea plant from which Long Jing is produced, presents aromatic notes similar to those of Long Jing but of a deeper, bolder nature. Instead of high floral and nutty notes Misty Green emits a mellower, more toned down grassy fragrance. The dry leaves are short, slender and slightly curled and the infusion is highly transparent and light jade in color. Misty Green has a sweet grassy texture and a long soothing aftertaste best appreciated on the tips and sides of the tongue.
