1 Tasting Note

Special Reserve Green from Shang Tea

We have debated for awhile about whether or not we should post notes about our own tea, but we thought it might be fun to just occasionally share our thoughts on a particular tea that we carry (without rating the tea that is!).

So we thought we’d start off with our newest tea, our special reserve green tea. While our owner, Zehua Shang, was on his friends wu-long tea farm, they visited a wild growing section adjacent that hasn’t been used for commercial use in 10+ years. We decided to pick some of these wild tea leaves and process them as a green tea and the result was better than we could expect.

The taste is incredibly fresh with a delicious buttery and sweet grassy complexity. We sipped it throughout the evening tonight and brewed it about 5-6 times, enjoying the changing flavor and color of the tea. We love this tea and hope you will too!

Shang is a native of China. Having grown up in China, he has an appreciation and knowledge for fine teas as well as for the rich history of tea that dates back thousands of years. After moving to the United States in 2000, he saw the opportunity to share part of his culture that has been benefiting the health of his people for centuries.
