Unusual for a lightly roasted tea.

Colour: Light to mid-golden ,clear

to light roasted mild finish

Body: Light and sharp with a clear beginning and well balanced finish

Liquor: Subtle and light coat

Stay: Even through mouth and across palate

Leaf: Single leaf, no bruising, lightly roasted

Conclusion: Tea time tea! Pairs well with sweet and savory treats.
Great also as an after meal dessert tea.
