Visually, the finished leaves resemble pumpkin seeds, hence the name of the tea.When dry, these are medium-sized, elongated leaves without stalks or buds, in all tones of emerald scattering. When warmed up with breath, the aroma of pumpkin seeds, as well as creamy shades. Water is about 73°. After the first infusion, the aroma becomes fresher, herbaceous, spicy, the seeds remain, and the creamy notes disappear. The infusion is bright, light green, rich. In the taste, oddly enough, pumpkin seeds again. The sweetness of spinach, broccoli, bamboo, lilac and mango. Sour tones of basil and orchid. Subtle, delicate sweetness in the aftertaste. If you leave it to brew for a long time or pour boiling water over it, a tart, astringent bitterness may appear. The tea is excellently refreshing and pleasantly tonic. Charges with energy and positivity. At any time of the year it will add a spring mood, and also has a beneficial effect on digestion and the spleen.
