I found some great green tea called Xia Zhou Bi Feng. It's a Chinese green that combines nuttiness with a vegetable taste. Has anyone else had this? I wrote a full review at my website.

I haven't had it or heard of it, but here is the Babelcarp page about the meaning of the words.

Salsero- Thanks for that. That sounds pretty cool. I put that Babelcarp page in my favorites.

I had this in 2006/7 from TeaSpring. I enjoyed it enough to reorder. My review from their site.
The sweet fragrant aroma belies the pleasant astringent flavor with a masked sweetness of the first infusion. The first infused leaves tell of a future full of bright promise as the successive infusions reveal a pleasant sweetness that will ultimately be devoid of any trace of the first infusion’s astringency.
Here is their old link that still works even though it is gone from the site and no longer available.

Xia Zhou Bi Feng

Actually...I have a 50 gram bag of it in the TeaFridge.

Sorry I'am a bit late as my brother made a delay.

I will just write down what was in the book.

First-grade leaves picked one-stem-one-leaf, second-grade one-stem-two-leaves. thin and long, glossy dark green. Aroma fresh and lasts longer. elegant taste with a clean finish. Brewed color brownish apriocot. Brewed leaves soft green.

City of Xi Chang was called Xia Zhou in Nan Bei Chao period(439~589) and was famous for tea growing. In Tang dynasty, was popular for tea and loved by Pi Ri Ti, Su Dong Po and such scholars. Once stopped producing for a moment and restarted in 80s.
