Green Gulou

Green Gulou - Main image
$24 $48 In stock

Green Gulou arrives in the cup quietly. The dry leaves, twisted into silvery-green curls, open into a pale green liquor that's almost translucent in the light. There's nothing aggressive here. This is a tea that asks you to slow down and pay attention.

The aroma is subtly savory, reminiscent of steamed zucchini, and the flavor mirrors the scent with a clean, vegetable-forward greenness typical of a well-crafted Chinese green. Think tender bok choy, lightly steamed, with no bitterness and very little astringency. The body is light, the briskness minimal, and the overall impression is one of restraint done right.

Chloe G. ★★★★★

Wasn't expecting much from a tea this pale, but the silvery-green curls unfurl into something really smooth. Zero bitterness even when I forget and let it sit too long.

Hazel ★★★★★

Steeped it at 175°F for about two minutes and the liquor came out so pale it barely tinted the cup, but the taste was all there. Those twisted silvery-green curls unfurl into something gentle and sweet, no bitterness at all even when I pushed a third steep.

Zoe M. ★★★★★

I brewed this expecting the usual green tea bite, but it's so mellow and almost sweet. The liquor comes out pale and clear, and the leaves uncurl into whole soft pieces in the second steep.
