This green tea was so highly favoured in the 18th century that the British Tea Tax was higher for this variety than the other varieties.
Hy-son translates to "Flourishing Spring" and this particular varietal imparts the fresh green character you would expect as part of any springtime experience. Leaf size of this pan-fried tea is bold and slightly coarse.
Characteristics are a greenish-yellow color with good body and smooth greenish tasting liquor.
This gourmet green tea is in loose leaf form and will require a tea infuser or tea filter when brewing. This can be purchased separately here.
