E Alexander Gerster drank Laoshan Northern Green by Verdant Tea

End of the Laoshan Northern Green from Verdant Tea, but just placed an order for more… After several steepings, I was getting some nice citrus tones in the background, and was not ready to abandon the last of the leaves. Added a few pieces of dried Yuzu rind to make a nice tart brew – amazing. :)

Bio

I have been drinking tea for most of my life, and enjoy learning about Tea Culture from all around the world. I learned early about Russian and British traditions first, since my parents came from Europe, followed by the teas and culture of Ceylon/Sri Lanka and India. Since I have been a practicing Buddhist for the better part of 25 years, I have strong ties to Asia, and have slowly been learning about the teas from each part of the world I encounter. It is a wonderful and interesting journey.
