My free samples from Shan Valley just came in the mail! I am so psyched! Not only did they send a sample of all four of their teas (in very cute resealable bags), the samples are extremely generous. At a guess I think there might be as much as 50 grams in each one. I’m sure there’s at least 30. Anyway, I finally settled down and picked this one to try first. It’s light and smooth, a bit vegetal and a bit mineral. I’m getting just a touch of astringency, but it’s not a bad thing at all. Overall, a solid green tea. :)

Not Really My Style:
spices (except for ginger. ginger rocks)
chai (because, you know, the spices)
rooibos (I don’t get it. Everyone seems psyched for it. Not me).
those smoky teas, like lapsang souchong, though once in a while I’ll need something really strong and then I like them.
