Goblin tea resembles a nice cup of Earl Grey in much the same way that a catfish resembles the common tabby. They share a name, but one is a nice thing to curl up with on a rainy afternoon, and the other is found in the muck at the bottom of polluted rivers and has bits of debris sticking to it. T.

Goblin tea is a term used in the English language to refer to a particular type of green tea that is grown in China and Taiwan. The name “goblin tea” is derived from the Chinese word for forest creature, referring to the tea’s natural appearance. This tea has a strong aroma, and the leaves are somewhat lanky and green in color. The leaves can be brewed in either a gaiwan or a traditional Chinese teapot with a lid.
