I’m not sure if others have tasted this but this tea has a smoky flavor to me. It’s very interesting and I like it a lot!
I drink a pot of this every morning--sometimes toss in a piece of lemon grass or a couple mint leaves, and it helps me get my day started right. I usually will steep 2-3 mins and then save the leaves and use one or two more days.
I first tried Sky Between the Branches because I liked the name so much, and now it's my favorite tea for evenings. Green tea works well because of the relatively low caffeine content, and Sky Between the Branches has the best flavor of any green tea I've tried.
It takes longer to let the full scent and flavor to envelope you, but its well worth it.
This is my favorite summer time morning green tea! The flavor is excellent, never bitter, and it does make me think of looking up between tree branches at a beautiful blue summer sky.
