This review is for the Autumn harvest laoshan bilochun.
Another solid Laoshan green from Verdant. This one is fruity and smooth. It’s got that signature laoshan soybean taste – which seems more pronounced in the autumn harvests – along with toasted grains and light herbaceous notes of cilantro and fennel. Nice full mouthfeel and moderately thick, brothy body. A tad on the savory side.
This is the 3rd bilochun from Verdant I’ve tried so far. The spring reserve laoshan bilochun was outstanding, one of the very best greens I’ve ever had actually. The regular spring harvest, at least year’s, was rather disappointing. This autumn harvest is right on par with Verdant’s other high quality green teas. That being said, I preferred the regular autumn laoshan tea to this one for its cleaner, more well rounded flavor.
Flavors: Coriander, Fennel, Soybean, Vegetable Broth
