En Shi Yu Lu Chinese steamed tea

[skilfautdire]

Processed in a similar way as the main Japanese green teas (eg. steamed) the En Shi Yu Lu offered by DTH seems interesting. A Teachat search returns nothing. Has anyone experienced this tea before ? Comments welcomed. Also, is DTH known for a minimum of quality in their teas (I'm not looking for the best, just simply reasonable teas and some interesting experiences).

I know the one from TeaSpring was discussed. I did not have either, but as I recall the TS one seemed pretty decent but not in line with a sencha.

The one I had recently from Teasprng was very good, but price wise if you spend that money at Horaido`s Shuppin HG you get a much better sencha, but the En Shi Lu Yu is a handpicked very good quality tea, at the first infusion it resembels a sencha but at later brews it is obvious that it`s a chinese tea, it has a distinctive chinese green tea aroma, it is very good, you can use it at the same amounts as a sencha and the same style of brewing, only use a bit lower temperature, like 70 C at first 2 brews, I say go for it and try it, it is a great tea.
P.S. The best tea from Teasprng is Xu Fu Long Ya.

Thanks for the comments. The idea is not to get a sencha, but to experiment with this Chinese steamed tea. Your description makes it even more tempting. The Teaspring offer is quite expensive compared to DTH, though, and so far I am not so sure about the difference in quality. This seems to be a not-so-common tea and perhaps there are not so many grades available around. If I get some I'll post a description.

For what it is worth, I trust and purchase greens from TS, and I have more confidence in their offerings.
