At nunshen, where each tea leaf evokes a unique tasting experience, vegetal aromas hold pride of place. Let’s decipher together this vegetal palette that enhances so many tea varieties.
What is a tea with vegetal notes?
A vegetal tea is characterised by aromas evoking fresh plants and raw vegetables. This aromatic freshness is mainly found in lightly oxidised or unoxidised teas such as green teas, some white teas and a few rare teas like spring Darjeelings.
The typical notes of a tea with vegetal accents include:
- Freshly cut grass
- Green stems
- Green beans and pea pods
- As it evolves, softer notes such as spinach, courgette or artichoke.
