Yunnan Green (Yunnan Lu Cha) from Silk Road Teas

Yunnan Green (Yunnan Lu Cha)

Green Tea by Silk Road Teas

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.

Yunnan means “cloud” as most teas in Yunnan are grown at misty mountainous elevations of 3000-7000 ft. above sea level. Tea leaves are a grayish green with some silvery tips. Develops a bright golden liquor and a fresh green tea flavor with a slight astringent aftertaste.

Very clean, easy going down. Nice sweet linger. This one is a keeper.
