This China green tea's flavor balances ethereal fragrances for a cup that's like drinking the nectar of fresh flowers. Yin Hao Jasmine is scented five times with fresh flowers, so the purely natural jasmine scent is the most pronounced and true of all jasmine-scented green teas. The cup is a bright green-gold, only slightly vegetal and with a robust, nutty body. Yin Hao means "silver tip," and indicates the very finely plucked leaf that gives this tea it's fine quality.
