Young Hyson 茶

The early spring picking really shows—every cup has that fresh, grassy brightness that keeps me coming back for another brew mid-afternoon. It’s smooth enough to sip plain, and the lucky dragon name fits because I’ve finally found a daily green tea that doesn’t turn bitter on me.

I wasn't sure what to expect from an early spring green tea, but the first sip was incredibly smooth with no bitterness at all. It’s become my go-to afternoon refreshment, and the delicate flavor really does hold up through several steepings.

The leaves are so delicate and fresh—you can really taste the early spring harvest. It’s light and smooth enough to sip all day without getting tired of it.
