Review:
This week is Anji Duet, another green tea completely new to me. I thought it would be similar to last week’s Green Needle, but it actually was quite different. It is a very light green tea, though not necessarily sweet like most. It doesn’t have any bitterness, just a crisp, light flavor. It actually reminded me of white tea more than most of the darker greens I normally drink. There is some flavor that I can’t quite put my finger on (maybe a hint of nuttiness?) that keeps it from being bland though. A smooth and refreshing tea, I think this would be a great tea for anybody who enjoys white tea and is looking to expand into some greens.
My Rating:
3.5 / 5
