From Yunnan Sourcing

Zhenyuan a high altitude area of Simao produces this high quality delicate green tea. Picked twice a year in a 2 day period when the buds and leafs are young and small. The taste is light and fruity with slight nuttiness. An exquisite tea, fresh for spring season.



Grown by a small family-run operation!

This tea is deceiving in that when you first rinse it, the wet leaves smell very bitter. With a flash rinse and a 6 second steep, the flavor is very light, nutty, creamy, with a artichoke type of vegetal flavor.

This tea can be very temperamental, like most green teas. So, if you were to brew this, I would highly recommend a light hand on temperature and steep time. If you are careful with it, it can give you a very nice tea experience. If not, it can become very bitter, very quickly.

So far some of the new 2015 greens I’ve tried from YS have been good but not amazing. I’d say this one was pretty amazing.

Brewed up the aroma had that sweet pea smell/flavor. So good. It came through in the taste as well. Sweet nutty, sweet pea. Yum!
