Lotus Heart (Lian Xin Cha)

Green Tea by Silk Road Teas

Made from delicate curly light green leaves and white buds from the early spring harvest. Very aromatic it is remininscent of Bi Luo Chen but its taste is rounder, sweeter and more vegetal with hints of asparagus. Steep in water temperature of 175 to 185 degrees for 2 minutes.

Very interesting round, rustic flavor with a lingering sweet finish. It’s good…but not what i’m looking for in a great green tea. I only get about halfway through the cup before i want something else…something fresh and crisp tasting. Although, I suspect many people will love this for its uniqueness…i do not.

Ended up throwing a bunch of this tea away. It was just getting old. It is flavorful….just not the flavors i want in a green tea.
