Grønne Nåle Qun Ti Zhong

The mineral note hits right at the back of the palate, then that osmanthus sweetness lingers like a memory of late summer. I brewed it three times this afternoon and it kept giving, the corn silk come through more each steep.

The pine-needle shape really holds up through multiple steeps, and that corn silk sweetness with a rocky minerality is unlike any green I've tried. Bought it for the osmanthus note on a whim, but the mountain depth keeps pulling me back for another cup.

Brewed this for the first time this afternoon and the corn silk sweetness is so gentle, it’s like drinking a cool mountain breeze. The leaves unroll beautifully and the minerality lingers long after each sip. Genuinely the most calming cup of tea I’ve had all summer.
