ChinHsuan Tea

Before and after. Our son brought us back this tea from Taiwan a few months ago, and we have only just started drinking it. It is lovely and I'm fascinated by the dry balled-up leaves and how they swell once the hot water is added.

Fabulous close ups of before and after. there are so many wonderful teas in Asia.

Wow, like dried up savoy cabbage leaves! What does it taste like?

[Sarah Bremner]

Oh I'd never have guessed it was tea. But having come home from China with a selection of teas I'm amazed at how unique each one is. Enjoy!

[Pat Knowles]

Wow that’s an interesting drink. I expect it’s refreshing…it looks it. Would be fun trying that for the first time. Laughing at how long it took you to try it!!

It's an interesting look at a tea. A nice present from your son.

Nice shot!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Well, I'm sure it tastes fine but this up close and personal doesn't make it too appealing to me- haha! Cool macro look at the leaves.

Interesting tea leaves.

[Kathy A]

I'm not a tea drinker at all but this looks interesting

[eDorre]

Intriguing!

@casablanca It's a little like the tea you'd get in a Chinese restaurant in the UK. Very mild, jasmine sort of flavour. Very drinkable .

[Issi Bannerman]

@happypat Ha ha ... do you blame us?! It doesn't look terribly appealing!

[leggzy]

Looks a bit like spinach...lol
