<b>Origin:</b> Tai Shan, Zhe Jiang Province <b>Season:</b> Spring <b>Leaf Form:</b> Single buds, few leaves <b>Organic Cert:</b> USDA, EU 2092/91 <p>Cultivated in Zhe Jiang Province this second grade Jade Sword offers a sweet floral aroma and sweet textured body similar to that of our first grade Jade Sword but falls slightly short in terms of processing and grading. There are two obvious differences between this and the first grade variety. One is the absence of absolute uniformity of color and shape of leaves. Two is the presence of downy fur on a few buds not entirely fired off during the cooking and shaping process. Nevertheless, the shortcomings in external appearance are more than made up for in aroma and flavor composition. On the whole this tea is still exceptional, and at that a great value in terms of taste and overall character.</p> <b>Tasting Profile</b> <i><b>Leaf:</b> Smooth, glossy texture with few down covered buds <b>Infusion:</b> Highly transparent, bright light yellow liquor <b>Aroma:</b> Grassy yet sweet, aromatic and slightly nutty <b>Taste:</b> Smooth, with a slightly bittersweet grassy aftertaste</i> <p><b>Origin:</b> Tai Shan, Zhe Jiang Province<br /><b>Season:</b> Spring <br /><b>Leaf Form:</b> Single buds, few leaves <br /><b>Organic Cert:</b> USDA, <span class="caps">EU 2092</span>/91</p> <p>Cultivated in Zhe Jiang Province this second grade Jade Sword offers a sweet floral aroma and sweet textured body similar to that of our first grade Jade Sword but falls slightly short in terms of processing and grading.
