T2: DAY 17 JADE MOUNTAIN

Wow. What an aroma from this tea. When I first opened the package, the sweetness hit you in an almost caramel aroma that made me really excited to try this tea.

With a base of Japoanese gen mai cha, I was really excited to try this tea, as I have heard a lot about this kind of tea and its flavor. However, its other ingredients (of hazelnut and almonds gave ma a pause for thought as I cannot stand the taste of nuts!

As soon as you brew the tea, the different aromas from the ingredients become really apparent, you get the roasted rice flavor, combining with a very nutty smell.

Sadly for me, the nut smell alone really put me off and I couldn't stomach even the smallest sip!

I did give the tea to my boyfriend, who described it as an unusual but enjoyable brew but unfortunately I can't make any ratings or review as I didn't get very far with this one!
