  • “Ok…. in conclusion, I suck at brewing this tea. 172F for 20 (or was it 30?) seconds, and I’m literally getting tasteless water. There’s a hint… juuuuust a hint, of tastiness, but even with the...” Read full tasting note

From Verdant Tea

Flavor Profile: When we set out to find a white tea, we tried countless samples. Everything seemed a bit too predictable, too mild, too simple. That is, until we came upon this incredible and unique harvest from Songyang. The aroma is more similar to a fine Darjeeling than another Chinese white tea. The flavors are stunning: buttery and thick like steamed brussels sprouts and edamame, yet somehow crisp and clean at the same time. It almost reminds us of green tea ice cream. The Songyang loves being resteeped, and yields at least four pots gongfu style or three western style.

Region: Songyang Township, Zhejiang Province

This was a very temperamental tea for me. Oversteeping or steeping at too high a temperature ruins the flavor.

The flavor reminds me of dark chocolate. It doesn’t actually taste like chocolate like some black teas do, but it reminds me of the mouth feel and bite of dark chocolate.
