Edamame, kinako, sweet mung bean cake. An albino subvarietal of Anji Bai Cha is the basis for our new Imperial Ivory, named after the beautiful, ivory color the leaves take on after they have been infused. Its flavor profile is complex; pairing the characteristic savory notes of green teas from Zhejiang Province with the delightfully subtle sweetness of fresh mung bean cakes. This tea fills the mouth with a structured, umami richness and satisfying savory flavor notes, and the silky texture is amplified as the tea cools.
