Finding a good green!

by PuerhlyAwesome » Jan 30th, '10, 14:50

Hello!

So, I'm looking for an everyday green tea to try. Something that isn't very picky to brew, without a bitter aftertaste. Maybe something similar to oolongs, something smooth and sweet, without bitterness.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I like to purchase teas from Yunnan Sourcing and Dragon Tea House. If anyone can think of some nice greens from there it'd be great! Thanks!

I have been adoring this Mao Feng from norbutea.com for the last couple of months, because it is just amazingly mellow, forgiving, and delicious; unfortunately, it is now sold out until next spring. I really don't know how much of it's amazingness is the Mao Feng-ness vs the particular batch from Yunnan, because it's the first Mao Feng I've ever had. It gives multiple infusions without bitterness. Gorgeous stuff.

had YS's Mao feng (that was in fall 2007) - nice yunnan flavor +some light smokiness, tho was quite strong flavor when delivered, i drank it a couple months after- more mellow.
now drinking YS's bilochun which is not bad but rather mellow and quiet for me- i add more tea or smash the leaf ... :P

Hmmm, I would say any kind of light green with a little bit of flavoring (like pomegranate or hibiscus or even lemongrass), do it for me when it comes to greens. Though who doesn't love a punch-in-the-face vegetal green tea!? :mrgreen:
