Ingredients: First Flush Black Tea
Steep Time: 3 minutes
First Sip Thought: “Sweeter than expected.”
Smell: The mix of light and dark green leaves give off a more floral aroma than I expected. I also grasps some light licorice type sweetness with lingering buttery notes. After steep, the liquor was a beautiful light gold.
Taste: I’ve always been more of a second flush girl, but I was surprised by how much I was finding myself enjoying each sip of this first flush. I was also excited to be able to try one from this year! With mild astringency, I think the natural sweetness that came with it helped me love it even more. A delicious steeping consisting of earthy tones and light buttery hints added to the overall floral cup. Although it was mellow throughout, the crisp finish was quite a nice addition. I would most definitely consider this a perfect spring tea that paired nicely with strawberries fresh from my garden, too. Thank you Udyan Tea for this lovely 2015 first flush!
Verdict: 3.5 out of 5 tea leaves
