The dark olive leaves of this green tea offering from Colombia are long and wiry, yielding a golden jade liquor with an herbaceous aroma. The cup has a smooth, buttery mouth feel with a hint of honey and suggestion of cocoa. With its crisp, clean finish, this tea is a great choice for those looking for a green tea without a vegetal quality.

I love senchas and oolongs and wiry greens like this from China, so I took a chance with the Colombian, and it does not disappoint. Mild, nuanced, delicious.
Initial impressions good

Very good, and reminiscent of pre-ching ming green tea in the lack of vegetal quality. Nice earthy flavors and aroma with a honeyed, almost nutty aspect. Interestingly, getting a tropical fruit note but not sure if this is the tea itself or a result of storage near another strongly flavored tea sample.
