Re: What GREEN are you currently drinking?
After having this unopened in my fridge for 3 months... finally had the chance to open it today..
Taiping Houkui Spring 2010 - Hojo
http://hojotea.com/item_e/g07e.htm
5g:200ml
90c, Quick Rinse, 1st 15s, 2nd 30s, 3rd 30s, 4th 45s, 5th 1m





This taste a bit like Longjing or the typical Chinese Green tea taste. Has good sweet aftertaste. Very refreshing. Yum yum...

Kaboku sencha from Ippodo. A very refined cup of green tea.

Re: What GREEN are you currently drinking?
My friend picked some of this up for me when she was in Japan. It really is a very balanced bitter-sweet asamushi. Might be tempted to order some in the future, in between my Yuuki and O-Cha orders.

Re: What GREEN are you currently drinking?
Just now, about one hour after lunch,
I drink some 2010 YangXianXueYa. Not long before 2011's will come out

It might also be called YangXian Snow Leaf.
YangXian is the old name for Yixing but I am not sure if there is another accepted and established english name for this tea. If you know I'd be glad to learn.
Today I drink it from a simple glass.

Re: What GREEN are you currently drinking?
Was trying out yame gyokuro tokujo. Quite nice taste, but somehow i like first infusion a lot more than all others. Still experimenting on water/leaf ratio and infusion time.
That's how it looks like after 6 infusions =)

Re: What GREEN are you currently drinking?
Today, about one hour after lunch I had some BiLuoChun. Not the best grade, but excellent aroma, and I don't think I can blame that purely on my cup.

I also had a little snack with the tea this time. I feel like the strawberries brought out the fruity note of the BiLuoChun more, rather than overpowering it.

Den's Tea Fukamushi-Sencha Maki. My first tea order arrived!
Funny, when I was unpacking my order and noticed two kyusu I thought they had made a mistake because I only ordered one (the white premium sencha teapot). Then I noticed Den's was actually running a promotion offering a free kyusu with purchase of $50. So I've gone from brewing my sencha in a French press to being a multiple-kyusu owner overnight!
It works out well, because the 'free' kyusu holds two cups of tea so might be more practical some days.
Anyhow, the tea is rich, mild, full of umami, and a delightful true green colour.

Yukata Midori Limited Edition from O-cha, quite interesting and quite nice. First infusion was an Eye opener brewed it slightly warmer and it had such a unique taste.
