Good but not excellent.

"I had better memories of this tea bought several years ago. Maybe this season not so good. Was good but not excellent. Will keep trying :-)"

2022 Spring

"Wow! This is my favorite harvest so far! Super potent green tea with a stimulating taste and aroma!"

— Morty B. (5/5)

a good classic Mao Jian

"fresh herbal scent of the dry tiny leaves, Round smell in the cup with hints of a nutty flavour, like a faint longjing. Taste is not powerful, more holding back. No astringency, although a slight bitterness at the bottom of the first cup."

— JULIEN C. (4/5)
