Taster’s Review:

LOVELY!  This is the first tea that I’m trying from this new-to-me company, and I’m happy that I received several from them … I’m happy this won’t be my last!  This Twisted Green Tea from Beautiful Taiwan Tea Company is absolutely delightful!

The dry leaf has a beautifully fresh fragrance that is vegetative with a hint of earthiness in the background.  It reminds me of spring.  Like the fresh morning air following a night of rain in the spring.  So many of the teas that I’ve been trying lately have been very reminiscent of spring and I love that!

The overall flavor is delicate, but there is a lovely complexity to it.  The description above suggests an earthy taste to the cup, but, I don’t really get a lot of earthiness to the taste, and I smelled more earthiness to the dry leaf than I am tasting now.

The flavor is sweet and smooth, with notes of cream.  The creamy notes are somewhere between butter and vanilla, and this taste marries beautifully with the light vegetative notes.  The vegetal notes here are much softer in taste than either the dry leaf aroma or that of the brewed tea would suggest.  I almost want to describe what I’m tasting as very lightly buttered and salted popcorn:  sweet, crisp and vibrant with a savory quality that arrives mid-sip.  It’s not quite “popcorn” … but that is the thought that keeps popping into my head as I sip.

A really lovely Bi Luo Chun.  The soft flavors are very relaxing to sip, but there’s a sense of invigoration that comes with sipping this tea too.  It seems to enliven from the inside, reawakening my tired soul while soothing it.  A truly Beautiful Taiwan Tea!
