curlygc drank Laoshan Bilochun Green by Verdant Tea

107 tasting notes

I am drinking the 2015 Autumn Laoshan Bilochun that just arrived a few days ago, and it is absolutely gorgeous. Lovely, delicate, tiny little leaves, bright green when steeped, vibrant & flavorful. Definitely one of my favorite greens. Also ordered the Laoshan flat pressed, as well as the Laoshan green; had the flat pressed last night (didn’t review it separately though, but I think I will soon) and it was also wonderful. Probably a tad bit sweeter and gentler than the Bilochun. The He family produces some wonderful green tea.

Bio

For many years I drank cheap asian market-bought oolongs because I really didn’t know what was out there. For the last year or so I’ve been educating myself and making a foray into better quality teas. During the course of my journey I have fallen hard down the puerh rabbit hole – it started with young sheng, but now there’s another even deeper hole in the aged category, and I may be careening down this particular rabbit hole forever. I do still find time for aged oolong, a good wuyi yancha, and the occasional aged white.

I stopped rating teas awhile ago. I guess the numbers stopping meaning anything after awhile. For a long time I was pretty good about keeping my cupboard up to date and reviewing teas, mostly to help me keep track and remember what I like. I’ve gotten lazy about that for the last several months.

The tea addiction has also spawned a new addiction to throwing pottery, and I have become mildly obsessed with making tea cups, shibos, and teapots.
