Not Imperial –
With a name like Imperial one expects the batch to contain all green tea buds. Not the case. The first few cups were fragrant with true buds. They are easy to spot – very slim slender pencil-like shape. But the last few cups I made are a mix of older leaves with one or two buds. Would not buy this brand again.
Summer’s Beverage –
This is my favorite tea of all the types of green tea I drink. I am a big fan of green tea and try many brands and types. A very refreshing and mild tasting tea. If you like green tea, this is a must try green tea.
