Tea Review: Shiqian Tai Cha (Tai Cha Yin Xiang)

Shiqian Tai Cha/石阡苔茶 (Shiqian Moss Tea)
Tai Cha Yin Xiang/苔茶印象
Type: Green
Origin: China, Guizhou Province, Shiqian County
Product Description: Not provided.

Temperature: 175° F
Amount: 3 grams
Steeping Time: 2-3 minutes

The dry leaf has aroma notes of wood, oats, and nuts.

The pale yellow infusion has a savory and nutty aroma with notes of butter and a hint of sweetness.  The taste is light and refreshing with nutty and spring green notes.

This tea comes from a native cultivar and is referred to as a purple tea due to the purple color of the leaves in early spring.  The flavor was light and refreshing throughout three infusion and gave me the feeling of drinking springtime.

This tea was provided as a free sample without guarantee of a review.
