2010 (?) Zhu Ye Qing after several year's absence. This was a generous "gift" from a TCer. This selection was quite like the last one I had, lots of veggie ... artichoke, broccoli, spinich along with bitter that comes with them ... plus a nice sweetness and a very faint smokiness.

I have always found ZYQ to be the best "dancer" of Chinese greens, so brewed it in a tall "glass."
