Writing about the 2016 spring harvest:

This is my first green tea from teavivre, and it didn’t disappoint. Delicious and subtle brew with very little bitterness at all. I was able to get a decent amount of steepings out of it as well. For the first 4 steepings, I followed the company’s website: 176 degree F water for 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s respectively. After that, I used slightly hotter water and with longer brew times as an experiment. It really drew out some of the more subtle notes, and since they were later steepings, I could not discern any bitterness. This is a very approachable tea, at least if brewed gong fu style!
