drank Spring Laoshan Green by Verdant Tea
423 tasting notes

Made this for my mom this morning. She said that she wanted to drink more green tea, and so I brought in the best green tea that I currently own. Was careful not to scald it with over-hot water, or to overbrew it, but still when I proudly brought her the cup and she sipped it, her reaction was “it tastes like medicine”. Fail.
Will try her with white tea next time.

Huh? That’s different, eh? I would never have thought of this one as tasting medicinal.
But then again, each of us tastes things differently. I once served a cup of a really ice stencha to a guy I was dating (long ago, before my wonderful Tony came along), & he said it tasted like someone I had dipped a fish into a cup of hot water.
Needless to ya, we didn’t date long, LOL.

I can’t break up with my mom :)
She’s quite finicky about her food and drink, but I’m hoping for more success with white tea, which is generally sweeter and more mild in taste than green ones are

btw, that’s suppose to say ‘nice sencha’, not ‘ice stencha’, LOL

Bio

An Israeli computer programmer with a passion for tea (mostly bought in yearly shopping sprees in the UK), particularly black, oolong and white. I don’t generally enjoy flavoured teas or herbal infusions, but if a tea sounds interesting and smells nice I’ll most definitely try it. I drink several cups of tea a day, usually one or two in the morning, another one after lunch and one or two in the evening. My favourite tea so far is Lao Cong Zi Ya from Norbu Tea, but I’m constantly trying new teas. Only in the past year have I branched into Pu’erh and non-roasted oolongs. Finding good tea in Israel is difficult, so I import most of my teas from yearly visits to London, or from online retailers. If you see something in my cupboard that sparks your interest and you would like to swap with me, then please message me. I’m almost always up for a swap.
