Lotus Heart (Lian Xin Cha)
|
|
Fired in wicker baskets, this Fujian Province early spring green will cup to a round and sweet vegetal taste that hints of asparagus. Made of artfully curled, light-green leaves and a smattering of white buds this tea is an excellent example of China's fine spring green teas. In tasting, note the rich mouth taste and brief aftertaste. Then steep another cup!
Tea Notes
This tea is not well-known. Yet it is one of China's finest pan-fired greens.
Best lots are picked just after Qing Ming, when the leaves have some size.
