From Yunnan Sourcing

A very fragrant and pungent green tea of Simao that can be infused many times. Has the robust characteristics of Camellia Sinensis var. Assamica with a potent aftertaste that lingers in the back of the mouth. The leaves have been dried into extremely thin strands that slowly unravel and expand as they are infused. A delicious green tea!

Grown near Wangzi Mountain in Ning’er county of Simao

Varietal: Yin Si 银丝

Late February until early March Harvest

Spring 2023: Wow, this one has an “Indian spice” scent to the dry leaf/brewed tea – maybe like a garam masala? Has sauteed onions flavor, some oakiness, and a few herbal/spicy notes that come through into the flavor. Also a bit of pleasant grassiness, not too rough. It is nice enough, but not sure if I would seek it out again.

12/29/20 530am.
3 grams. Steeped at 160 F and a minute for a few steeps, then direct from kettle. Using glass pitcher to brew. Tea liquor is cloudy. This is a daily drinker and not one I’d typically celebrate in the morning.
