I normally enjoy Laoshan tea but this recent harvest isn’t doing it for me. It’s got the usual vegetal notes – zucchini, edamame, and cilantro being the prominent ones I picked out – but something about it tastes off, like overripe fruit. It reminds me of pears or honeydew that sat out too long. At the moment, it’s been banished to my work stash where my less loved but still palatable teas go. It tastes better cold brewed or blended with a flavored tea so that’s probably how I’ll drink the rest of it.

How disappointing! :(
hmm.. I don’t know if I’m usually noticing an overripe fruit note with this one, but it sounds interesting.
@tea-sipper, usually this is a good tea but something is a little different about the taste this time. Could also have been affected by keeping it in cold storage
