Shelley_Lorraine drank Laoshan Bilochun Green by Verdant Tea

523 tasting notes

There are some teas that I come back to after some time and realize that they are better than I remember (the reverse is also true). Fortunately, this time, the former is true. I like that this tea isn’t as strong and astringent as the regular Laoshan Green. I made a cup this morning and again this evening, steeping both for 2min at 170 and both were equally pleasing. It is ironic that I’ve been trying to use this one up to make room for new teas and now I want more of it. Why can’t my tastebuds make up their mind eh? :p

My Rating System

100 My happiness absolutely depends on it

95 Will definitely repurchase

85: Might repurchase (teas that depend on my mood)

75 Won’t repurchase (but I would drink it again if offered).

65: meh

45: I reluctantly finished a cup.

15: Couldn’t finish a cup.

I simplified my ratings to single numbers rather than ranges because I can’t precisely compare so many teas with a system more detailed than this.

An unrated tea is most often one that I recognize as having significant notable quality, but that does not suit me personally. Sometimes, I leave teas unrated for other reasons, such as I am undecided or I brewed it wrong, etc.

Note: Boiling temp. barely reaches 200 where I am (and a few times it sticks at 195, I assume due to unexplainable shifts in altitude or the position of the moon. . .aliens?. . .).
