Yunnan Green (Yunnan Lu Cha)
Thick, curly green leaves mixed with white buds give a strong appearance as well as a rich aroma to this tea found in a tea market in Yunnan Province. The taste is fruity with hints of asparagus. It cups clean and offers a lingering sweet aftertaste that is quite pleasing. This is a very good lot! Brew in water temperature of 180–185 degrees for two minutes.
