Description
Hyson translates to ‘Flourishing Spring’ and this tea imparts the fresh green character you would expect to be a part of any springtime tea experience. This tea is made from young leaves (new shoots) giving it a higher quality and better taste.This tea became so highly favored in the 1700’s that the British Tea Tax was actually higher for this variety over other teas.
There is good body in the cup and a smooth fresh greenish tasting liquor.
