Sun Dried Jingshan Green from Verdant Tea

Cavocorax drank Sun Dried Jingshan Green by Verdant Tea

Thanks Mercuryhime for the sample!

After reading the reviews and finding that this is one of the ‘fancier’ teas, I whipped out my little gongfu pot for serious tea brewing business!

It was worth it. I steeped it three times, and I really enjoyed the buttery green flavours. I tastes a little sweet and a little citrusy as some of the reviewers have mentioned. Maybe I should have steeped it for longer but this feels like a delicate green, suitable for quiet reflection (as opposed to some of my flavoured blacks that are good when I’m juggling 5 things at once and want tea that comes to me, instead of me sitting down to enjoy it!)

So glad you enjoyed it! I do love this tea, but I feel like my tastes don’t really tend towards greens anymore. :( Might be good for stash busting if I did green days and oolongs days and so on.

The problem I have with greens/oolongs is that these teas generally do well (or better) when you resteep them, so it takes A LONG TIME to sipdown. (And… of course for some people this is an advantage, but I have days where I just want to tidy things up, and get rid of odds/ends. So I could dedicate a day to greens or oolongs and only finish one off. Wah.). :P

Bio

Tea: I just started drinking loose tea earlier this year and once I started I had to get more and more and try ALL THE TEAS. So far it seems that I like simple oolongs, greens and rooibos teas, and that black teas are where I go crazy with fancy flavoured blends.

Me: I’m a geek, animal lover, new mom, and bookworm. I like Lord of the Rings, Doctor Who, Game of Thrones, pen&paper RPG’s, online RPG’s, video games, silly internet memes, puzzles and a bunch of others things!
