Chinese Emerald Green Tea

Started trying Rare Tea’s Chinese Emerald for the first time recently . It’s refreshing and very pleasant to the palate , does not taste too strong . I really like it and shall order it again .

Pure joy in a cup. Fesh and fragrant. Hard to think that green tea can get any better

I didn't think I liked green tea. But this is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Smooth, earthy, and a fantastic choice for any fans (or those just experimenting!) with green tea.

I am relatively new to green tea but l think this is one of the blackest green tea you can get making it is less astringent and grassy hence easier to drink with low sugar or unsweetened. But what makes this tea special is unmistakable and stronger fruity aroma of mango compared to others and strong notes of earthy and soily flavour you can find in some root vegetable nuts like beetroot and roast chestnut. First infusion taste clean and mellow too with more mango aroma, further infusion reveals more earthy flavour than fruity. About the appearance, very young thin leaves on stalk were beautifully curled unfurling to mostly intact bunches of whole leaves on stalk. About packaging, it looked fully airtight thick aluminium coated pouches, thing, wide and long labelled with name of tea, company and best-before date. So it could easily be fit in a small letterbox size box. The only problem was it doesn't fit in their caddies used by the company so you will need to find an airtight container to fit that. I had some difficulty stick it in a slightly under half a litter plastic container without crushing leaves as it was too wide.
