After 24 samples of green teas, 9 of which where from
China, 9 from
other origin and the rest from
Japan I realised that Japanese green teas are quite different from the rest. almost, like a different type of tea.
Green teas from China and from other origin were similar, but a few Chinese green teas were outstanding (for my palate of course).
Accordingly to this article
Bi Luo Chun tea is ranked first among Chinese green tea. I didn't think it was any different from other green teas, although I will give it another chance by ordering it from another source. As far as I understand each green tea may have different levels of quality. Sencha has 8? the price is quite different too
However, as I said I loved two other Chinese green teas. One of them is ranked number two in the article mentioned above. It is called Dragon Well on NBTea, or
Longjing tea here. Another is
White Monkey Tea.
In my opinion they are almost as different from other green teas as Japanese green teas are different from all others
It might be worth to investigate for you
Btw., since you know about NBTea and like straight Rooibos, you might like or even love
Lapacho
A cup of Lapacho, before I go to bed in a few.
