Review:<\/p>\n

Got a new order in today with some white tea and a few new greens, this is the first one I tried.\u00a0 Before that though, let me clarify something that was confusing to me.\u00a0 The tin I received is labeled “emerald green” but I had ordered green needle.\u00a0 I chatted with adagio via their website and it seems they had to change “emerald needle” to “green needle” because they got sued by another company who owned that name.\u00a0 Just thought I would share\u00a0 that in case any of you were confused too!\u00a0 On to the tea – It smelled grassy at first, but there was definitely a hint of fruitiness hidden as well.\u00a0 As far as taste goes it is a milder tea, although it did go down very smooth.\u00a0 Nothing really overpowering in the flavor category, it is just a nice mellow green with just a hint of a smoky aftertaste.\u00a0 While it might not be ground breaking, I found it a good day to day tea that more often than not I had finished before I realized it.<\/p>\n
