From Literárna Čajovňa

Harvest: April 2021
Area: Enshi, Hubei
Cultivar: Enshi Qunti Zhong

Chinese green tea from Enshi in Hubei Province. The leaves come from the local cultivar Enshi Qunti Zhong, from the gardens at 900 meters above sea level, where they are almost always naturally shaded by dense mountain fog.

This is one of the few examples of Chinese green tea, which is deenzymed by steaming. After processing, the tea is finally baked at a low temperature for a while, which gives the tea a grayish jade color.

I really like this green tea, it reminds me of ones from Laoshan but it certainly has its own character too. In particular, it has a unique mixture of floral and umami notes. I also enjoy its buttery mouthfeel and a refreshing, warming and fragrant aftertaste that stays for a long time.

From the dry leaves, I get hints of candles and passion fruit, while in the preheated gaiwan it’s more standard green tea aroma somewhere between a Laoshan green tea and a sencha (such as those from Koshun varietal). There are several floral notes, such as narcissus for instance. Wet leaf aroma then reminds me of thistles and green beans.

The taste follows similar lines. First infusion is a mix of nutty, bitter and sour flavours with a dry grass and meadow like impression. Later, we get more flowers, edamame and a mild green peppery bite. The aftertaste has a good bitterness that slowly transforms into a mix of umami and sweetness.
