Larger than life, full-bodied green tea. The soup of cooked greens is sweet and clean, but steep it light and numerously to tame its potency. Hale and hearty. A spirited cup, indeed!

Harvested and produced April 10, 2026 by Mr. Xian in Lichuan County, Hubei Province. It’s a one bud, two leaf pick of the Lichuan #10 cultivar growing at approximately 2,400 feet.

Customer Reviews

Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 4 reviews.

This is a really lovely tea! I brew it at 6-8 g per 200-250mL, 175 degree water, no rinse, 30 sec to start and plus 15 seconds per infusion. I notice a honey aroma immediately, which I love! The flavor is best on 1-2 steeps but still very drinkable in steeps 3-4. That said, I have noticed that the flavor changes significantly depending on the water; at home with RO water remineralized to a pretty even mineral profile tastes much better than tap water when made elsewhere. So, a bit of a finicky tea, but worth the effort I think - I enjoy this tea a lot and will definitely be reordering it. A very affordable tea for the flavor!

Very solid Chinese green. I agree that it is easy to make overpowering. Careful attention to quantity and temperature yields very nice cups, good for at least two steeps.

Sycamore Grove | Green Tea

Lots of what I’d describe as funk in the first steep which I’ve found I love but mellows out to become really earthy and sweet great tea probably my favorite green I’ve tried so far.

Sycamore Grove | Green Tea

This has a strong vegetal flavor that may be an acquired taste if you're not used to it, and it is a little astringent if it's made too strong. What I really notice and love is how buttery and smooth it is!! Overall the buttery taste and feel makes up for any astringency. When I'm not enjoying my brothy senchas, I usually go back to this, or Homestead (which tastes similar imo).
