Additional notes: I made a conclusion after reading the manufacturer’s description of the tea that these green tea leaves are picked between mid-April and late-May. If this is true, then it is an interesting fact about picking green tea leaves during a specific time of the year (spring). Interesting to know, what kind of green tea is picked at other times of the year? Also, the manufacturer could mention what type of green tea they have used.

 Also, I found that magical soothing aroma was not in this tea that I found with Hong LV Green tea and Rose Green Tea, nor in a sachet, nor when I poured water on it. That lowered the quality of this tea in my eyes. It seemed to be a commercial product, where the love and passion of producing it is little.

I tried this tea at Runda International Hotel.

I did not follow the manufacturer’s advice to add 250 ml of water. I used 200m ml.

*I used the Samsung Galaxy 22 translator, and it seems that it might translate the description.

Additional notes: I found this tea quite amusing, because it had lovely, long-lasting sweetness in the aftertaste. It made me wonder, what causes this sweetness and what kind of black tea it is exactly.

Also, it was interesting to read how the manufacturer described this tea. It made me think that consumers in China expected to see in the sachet exactly the same that was on the image. It might be important to warn consumers about the fact that in the sachet, there won’t be anything else apart from a tea bag.
