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. :)
