Pi Lo Chun

Green Tea by Drink T

One of the rarest of green teas, Pi Lo Chun is grown in orchards amongst fruit trees. The sweet fragrance of the fruit blossoms are absorbed by the tea leaves while growing. The short harvest season, from the Spring Equinox (end of March) to the Clear Brightness (early April), also contributes to its exclusivity.

Our Pi Lo Chun uses only the finest, most tender leaves. It’s hand picked and processed in the higher elevations of Taiwan where the tea bushes are shrouded in mist and kept cool by the high mountain air.

Sweet and crisp, this tea is well rounded and will finish with a clean, lingering taste.

Slight buttered veggie scent but doesn’t really tasted like buttered veggies. It’s not grassy at all! It’s also sweet but even a little floral. Finish and after taste is sweet and clean! Very nice – very smooth!

Backlogging…starts off sweet an ends more vegetal yet buttery…

A very bright tasting green…backlogging from last night. BIL had some with a little Agave Nectar and said he really enjoyed it, too!

The dry leaf has a strong vegetative scent with a subtle hint of flower. The brewed liquor is much softer.

Very light in flavor – fruit-like, sweet, and very yummy. Even though it smells strongly of vegetable, there is very little suggestion of it in the flavor… it’s there… but it hits just at the start of the sip and is quickly washed away by the sweet fruity notes. Astringency is faint but the palate feels very fresh and clean in the finish.

I like this one a lot.

This is so lovely. Very light butter essence together with a vegetal quality… but even nicer is the floral taste that lingers in the finish. It is a bit citrusy, a very sweet, clean taste.

Definitely one of my favorites from Drink T.

I really like this tea a lot.

This is one of my favorite green teas. It has a pure complex full flavor.

Light, more sweet than buttery, more floral than vegetal. The second steep is more floral than the first. I’ve neglected this sample for about a year, but it’s still good.
