TTN: A frigging fantastic Korean Green tea!
Posted: Tue Nov 07, 2006 6:43 pm
Sparrow's Toungue from Korea embodies everything I want from a green tea. Except that it's bloody expensive: 50g costs £14 + shipping (from EastTeas, London). But I thought it's worth it. It is an early-plucked (1st of May) wild tea from Chiri San in Hwagae.
The nose is exactly what I want from green tea: vegetal and lactic, very savoury and fresh. The taste is fairly light bodied, smooth, perfectly balanced, almost milky in consistency. Very complex and elegant. Absolutely fantastic tea.
