The Hunan Gold tea is an absolutely delightful green tea. It doesn’t look green—it looks gold, like its name indicates.

It doesn’t taste like a normal green tea either. It has this airy, sweet taste, but sort of…husky quality to it as well. The Hunan Gold tea has decent enough of body and flavor that it doesn’t feel like you’re drinking weak hot water—it has a strong enough impression that it has you craving more but it doesn’t overwhelm you either. Steeping it for long periods of time doesn’t cause to get bitter. Perhaps a bit mellower, though. It has a decent amount of nuance but comes off composed so it feels simple.

I really like this tea. At the first few cups of it, I knew I liked the Hunan Gold tea, but it has definitely grown on me since. Definitely recommend it for an all around respectable tea with good flavor. I know I’ll be getting more of it soon.
