Ah, another Vietnamese Tea. :D Great reviews on this so I will put in my two cents. ^^
They were small tightly rolled green leaves. No tea dust. The dry leaves had a nice vegetal aroma. After the rinse, the leaves had a orchid, fruity (?), slightly floral aroma. The liquor is a very pale amber. I love the creaminess, the natural milk-buttery-like flavor of a good unflavored Jin Xuan and this one was very smooth and brothy too. It was slightly different to me to the ones that I normally drink (TeaVivre, Mandala, and Theodor), it’s almost like a hybrid of the creamy Jin Xuan combined with the familiar honey-like taste of a good TGY. Vegetal, orchid, creamy, buttery, floral and umami notes. Solid, a little different and good Jin Xuan.
