First tea from the 2023 harvest.
So happy to be reunited with this tea! I’ve tried other Anji Bai Chas but Teavivre remains my favorite. This year’s batch was no exception. It’s just as good as I remember.
The long, slender leaves are needle shaped and bright green with a light tint of yellow like a green apple. Intensely fresh, beany aroma.
Steeped 1.5g in a glass pitcher and poured out half after a few minutes. Clean, lush vegetative flavor. I tasted peas, grass, romaine lettuce, and a touch of hay. Very spring-like and delicious.
Since this was such a delicate tea, I didn’t top off and instead poured out what was left in the pitcher. Sort of a hybrid grandpa/western style. The second cup was more beany and had more body but still sublime.
Flavors: Beans, Garden Peas, Grass, Hay, Lettuce
