Tasters Review:

It seems I have a lot to say about this tea.  For many different reasons.  One being…the last Hysson Tea I tried from a different company was down right awful.  This one from Gorreana was  breath of fresh air (which I will get to in a moment!)  Another reason I have quite a bit to say about this one is that I tried Googling it and there weren’t a lot of Tea Review Sites that have reviewed it as of yet.  Here at SororiTEA Sisters we are very excited to be one of the first!  I will say that our friends at Steepster have a few people sipping on this one – in case you were interested.

Like I said above…I was surprised, happy, and satisfied with this one.  Maybe the word “Satisfied” down plays it a bit…maybe “delighted” would be a better word.  Regardless…this was tasty and different…here’s how it struck me…

Dry – this smells fresh and airy.  It also smells slightly of herbs but also of veggies.  Not overly-so but there are notes present.  After infusion was complete this smelled  mellow but refreshing or spring-like even.

The taste was wonderful.  Very pure, quite crisp for a green, although it had hints of herb and vegetal flavors as well as being a little nutty – yet sweet – and slightly juicy but also a little chewy, even!  This was the surprise for me!  I was surprised but totally stoked that this had a slight chewy quality to it.  You don’t get “chewy” often in a green…not this kind of chewy, that is.  This is really special!

The after taste is a little floral and a little vegetal and herbally.  The more I drink this one the more I like it!  Very nice, indeed!
