A nice Honyama Sencha from Gong Fu
My Gong Fu Order arrived yesterday: Camel's Breath, Blue Spring Oolong, Frozen Summit, Jin Xuan, Wuyi Shan Red Cape, Wuyi Shan Ti Kwan Yin, Organic Puerh Tuocha
Honyama Sencha, Yuzu Sencha, Green Snail Spring
I had the Green Snail Spring yesterday and found it boring. It is ok but nothing I would order again. It's description "This Green tea is from China's Garden City - Suzhou in Jiangsu Province. Suzhou is the perfect place for the connoisseur - of classic gardens, fine art, and because of the Green Snail Spring, fine teas. The earliest buds are plucked to produce tenderness and flavor. The resulting tea is phenomenal."
I followed the brewing instructions and found that the tea was just flat, no real taste to it. The good news is that it is not off putting to me the way many Chinese Greens are. It just doesn't have a flavor similar to the Sencha and Bancha's that I enjoy.
Waiting on my tea order from the Mache Tea Company: 2014 LAOCHA TUO RIPE, 2006 YUNHAI NANNUO AGED RAW, 2013 FT FEITAI 7572 RIPE, 2004 JIANSHEN TUO, 2014 YS MAN TANG HONG 3 RIPE, HUANGSHAN MAO FENG, ICCHA KARIBAN "Fragrant Flower" SENCHA, Genmai Sencha, KEEMUN MAO FENG, GUANGXI MAO FENG
They are looking for a 2012 Pu-Erh brick for me. I want to have a few to give to little man when he turns 18, when he is married, and for me to drink on important days for him (like his birthday, graduation and the like).
I love tea
