Crisp and bright with a clean, refreshing lift. Delicate grassy notes and subtly savory undertones unfold into hints of fresh hay, forest floor, and soft vegetal earthiness. The aroma is herbal and grassy, with a gentle, lingering finish that stays light and balanced. Unlike traditional green tea, Pedernales is naturally low in tannins — so there is no bitterness hiding at the bottom of your cup, even if you forget about it on the counter.
