Taster’s Review:

This is an excellent green tea – perfect for those who adore green tea!

The fragrance is light and sweet with hints of vegetable and flower. The provided description (above) suggests a magnolia flower scent, and I would agree. It smells lovely as it beckons this taster to take a sip!

The flavor is crisp and vegetative. The vegetative quality falls somewhere between grassy and vegetable, like steamed spinach with a soft background note of freshly cut grass. There are also some hints of flower in the flavor – mere whispers of floral flavor – but they add such a lovely dimension of flavor to the cup.

At the start, I did not detect much of a buttery essence to this tea. It certainly has the rich smoothness and mouthfeel of a buttery tea, but, not the creamy butter flavor. However, as I continue to sip, I notice that the buttery notes develop. It tastes indulgent and delicious. It evokes images of licking my fingers after a drop of melted butter slides off my morning toast … I know I shouldn’t, I know it isn’t good for me, but I also know it tastes too good to resist it! Fortunately, this buttery essence comes from 100% organic green tea … so I know it’s good for me!

Another amazing tea from the Tao of Tea!

Anne (aka the Mad Tea Artist) has celebrated her 29th birthday for many years now. She lives in the Pacific Northwest with her hubby and her youngest daughter. Her oldest daughter is married and has bestowed Anne with the proud title of "Gramma" and her grandson is about the cutest boy you ever did see. Anne started her journey with tea as a casual drinker and became more serious about her tea drinking when she realized that she couldn't drink coffee. Shortly thereafter, she started becoming obsessed with the beverage and she started creating small-batch, artisan blends of tea that she sold online as LiberTEAS. After a few years, she realized she wasn't cut out to be the sole proprietor of a business so she closed LiberTEAS and started reviewing teas online. She met Jennifer through another blog that they both reviewed for and they decided to start their own review blog. This review blog! Throughout her journey as a tea reviewer, she discovered 52Teas and became enamored with the idea of creating a new tea every week. When the founder of 52Teas decided he wanted to move on, he offered the business to Anne but knowing that she wasn't cut out to be a sole proprietor, she instead offered the company to her oldest daughter who employs her as the Mad Tea Artist for 52Teas!
