Brewed in gai wan for a tea ceremony, light green in the cup. Grassy, vegetal, fresh taste. Strong for my ceremony participants, I was the only one left drinking when the tea was steeped out at 8 steepings. I used short 15 second steeps, gradually increasing until I was well over a minute at the end.

Flavors: Grass

Preparation
180 °F / 82 °C 0 min, 15 sec 3 tsp 4 OZ / 118 ML

Am still drinking this up, oh my it really is good. After taking a nap and a couple steeps of this I almost feel back in my 20s again, full of energy and lightness. But alas I am 50 and the effect must by nature wear off. I will definitely get some more of this once I finish the rest my new spring teas.

Right. Delusions of well being. Seriously. Ordered more, not waiting. :P

Bio

I’m a tea drunk with baggage and issues. Convent trained, PhD, strong background in herbal infusions during those years. Started drinking green teas almost 20 years ago to address a kidney issue, now in remission, and never looked back. Seeking friends and curators with interests in premium and small batch teas. I drink all greens, and maintain a small collection of sheng and shu cakes. I am interested in first flush, wild leaf, ancient leaf, teas for and by monks and nuns, and difficult teas. My appreciation is high for subtle palates, though my own is rather average. Always interested in unique teas, brewing and storage issues.
