The description alone made me curious, but actually tasting it felt like a small trip to those Hunan mountains. I brewed a lighter cup than usual and still got a deep, almost herbal character that lingers nicely. This one's earned a permanent spot in my rotation.

The whole Shen Nong connection gives it a storybook feel, but what really sold me is how the leaves hold their character steeping after steeping. Even the third cup stays smooth and full, which is rare for a mountain green. I’ve already reordered twice.

The misty mountain origin story is what sold me, but the actual taste of this green tea is what keeps me coming back. It brews up a gentle, grassy sweetness that feels like a quiet morning. I've already ordered a second batch.
