The leaves of this tea are rolled into tight pellets, and its flavour is refreshing and tangy. A special technique perfected over centuries to preserve freshness.
Once in the cup with hot water added, the leaves of the shiny pellets unfurl back into life. The flavour is original, strong and includes tart aromas.

I'm on my second cup right now and the tangy flavor holds up beautifully even after the leaves have been sitting. Those tight little pellets uncurl slowly, so I'm getting a good three steeps out of a single pinch.
The way these leaves are rolled into tight little pellets makes the flavor come out slowly and evenly, so the second steep is just as good as the first. I love that tangy, refreshing edge it has — it’s become my go-to midday pick-me-up.
Each little pellet unfurls so evenly in the water, and the tangy freshness really does hit right after the first sip. I’m already on my third cup today and the leaves still hold their flavor, which is more than I can say for most loose greens.
