Bamboo Leaf Green Tea (Zhu Ye Qing) from Life In Teacup

AmazonV drank Bamboo Leaf Green Tea (Zhu Ye Qing) by Life In Teacup

Steep Information:
Amount: 2 tsp
Additives: none
Water: 12 ounces
Steep Time: no idea
Served: Hot

Tasting Notes:
Dry Leaf Smell: grassy
Steeped Tea Smell: grassy
Flavor: sweet, watery, vegetal, but smooth

I got this as part of a sample set from Life in Teacup.

Tried following directions (http://www.lifeinteacup.com/brewing-tea) and waited until most leaves sank. I used boiling water that had sat for a bit.

I really guess I am not too much of a green person :(

Post-Steep Additives: none

Those steeping parameters aren’t really my cuppa- maybe you could try the standard 160-180 for 1-3 min?

my prior trial was 2 min 165, a little nuttier that time but still tinge bitter at the end

Profile

Bio

I love caffeine! I prefer tea to coffee. I prefer my flavors to be in your face, not subtle. I plan to use this blog to keep track of the teas I have tried.

I get my daily dose of caffeine from Starbucks (Grande soy no water chai latte).
