Sebastian ★★★★★

The fruity note in this first flush really comes through, almost like a muscat grape. I've been drinking it plain in the morning and it stays smooth even when I forget and let it steep a bit long.

John K. ★★★★★

I brewed this exactly two minutes at 175 degrees and the spring character is unmistakable, with that pretty intense fruitiness lingering pleasantly. It's noticeably brighter and more alive than the second flush I usually drink. Probably the nicest morning cup I've had this season.

Isabella Y. ★★★★★

First steeping poured a pale golden cup that smelled like spring itself, and the fruitiness came through clean and intense without any bitterness on the finish. That pleasant floral note lingers just enough to make the second cup feel like a whole different experience.
