I’ve never tried a green tea version of Tie Guan Yin before so this should hopefully be interesting.

The flavor is somewhat reminiscent of Tie Guan Yin tea, but much lighter, and in my opinion, a little disappointing.
A very light, mild green tea flavor, with more bitterness then I was expecting.
Flavor notes: Vegetation, grass, orange blossom honey, and a moderate bitterness.
