Spring 2022.
My second Yunnan Sourcing Long Jing and easily the better of the two.
This tea has a sweet, creamy aroma and the leaves are longer and less broken than the Imperial Grade. I steeped it the traditional grandpa method: tea leaves directly in the cup.
In a warm glass, the leaves emitted a nutty aroma that reminded me of Rice Krispies. The brewed tea has a very nice nutty freshness. Chestnut and lima bean are the dominant flavors but there are green bean and pistachio notes as well. It’s more chestnutty than any dragonwell I’ve had. Pleasant and smooth throughout with zero bitterness.
Holds up well in cold storage and makes an excellent cold brew.
Flavors: Chestnut, Green Beans, Lima Beans, Nutty, Pistachio
