From Harney & Sons

After tasting many Lung Chings while in Hangzhou, China, this stood out universally. It is a very elegant Lung Ching that is really from Meijiawu District. The brew is a light and clean nut flavor with a nice body (for a green tea).

The 2015 crop of Meijiawu has arrived! This year’s batch is exceptional. All of the positive aspects of a traditional Lung Ching are intensified in this magnificent artisanal tea. Full flavors of young white bok choy and sweet walnut play on the tongue and leave a divine enduring aftertaste, nearly on par with the finest oolongs. This year’s crop is truly special; easily superior to the 2013 and 2014 crops.

For some reason, the dry leaves of certain green and oolong teas smell like chocolate to me. When I opened this, I smelled milk chocolate. That was very exciting because I have never been disappointed by a tea that smells like chocolate.

Steeped, the liquor is pale but fragrant and now smells like toasted nuts and full-bodied vegetables. The tea has a medium body and smooth sweet taste. Even though the color is light on the first steep, the second steep is still fragrant and tasty.

We had two pots with supper and liked it so much that hubby requested a third pot to share after. And he is picky, so it makes me happy to find things that he likes!
