Young Hyson Loose Green Tea

Young Hyson is a Green tea from China that is rolled, pan-fired green; rounded mouthfeel, smoky-nutty flavor, balanced with a steamed broccoli note. Harvested leaves from Camellia sinensis which immediately undergo a process of firing or steaming. This action stops enzymatic activity that leads to oxidation (darkening) of the leaves. The moisture in the steaming process produces a more assertive green, bright and crisp character, while firing with dry heat generally produces a smooth, toasty, vegetal, and sometimes smoky profile.
