Clouds and Mist organic green tea makes a lasting impression. Also known as 'yunwu', the subtle aroma that comes from its clear, golden yellow infusion is a compelling mixture of smoky, citrus and vegetal. Its earthy taste, reminiscent of sweet, roasted artichokes, is well-rounded, with a slight note of toasted pecans. Clouds and Mist is very structured in its flavor – assertive and smoky in forward body, and developing over time to a softly sweet, buttery finish – making it a perfect green tea for morning. The curly silver-speckled leaves are harvested in the spring from tender tea buds. Praised as 'green gold' for centuries, it is one of China’s traditional imperial tribute teas. Clouds and Mist takes its name from the seas of mystically shrouded peaks on which this prized green tea is grown, using USDA certified Organic farming methods. Brews well for three to four infusions.

      I'm not sure that the combination of smokiness and greenness is my favorite, but it's a high quality, distinctive cup of tea.

      This is a very smooth, vegetal green tea, and surprisingly high quality for how inexpensive it is. I like the sachets that the tea comes it because they are roomy and still allow the leaves to expand. I'm not sure I would say this is smoky as it says in the description, but the part about sweet roasted artichokes seems accurate. I would drink this again!
