drank Long Jing by white2tea
358 tasting notes

This will be my second time having a long jing, though I definitely assume this one to be of better quality than the grocery store one I’ve had in the past.

Not much of a scent comes off the dry leaves, but once I start steeping I get a nice, nutty aroma. The liquor is very light in color—more yellow than green—but smooth and viscous, and it has a light, beany chestnut flavor to start, with a nice hui gan.

Liquor remains light in steep two, but the flavor strengthens, though it never becomes overpowering. No hints of bitterness or astringency, such a stark contrast to the Japanese green I had right before, and rhinkle actually enjoys it as well, which is rare when it comes to green tea!

Flavors: Beany, Chestnut, Sweet

Preparation
175 °F / 79 °C 0 min, 15 sec 5 g 3 OZ / 100 ML

I don’t rate until I have had a tea several times unless it makes a very strong, immediate impact.
