Highball method today as I try to finish some green tea. I noticed yesterday that I have an absurd amount of green tea to drink.

- Description
- This An Ji Bai Cha (安吉白茶) was harvested and made on March 29, 2022 in the core production area - Shijiao village. It’s a famous style of Chinese green tea, with the name "Bai Cha" ironically translating to White Tea. Its cultivar, Bai Ye Yi Hao (白叶一号, or White Leaf #1), is a special, mutated cultivar "discovered" in 1982. Due to the low amount of chlorophyll, its buds appear to be more white than green in the early spring and only turn fully green in the summer. Compared with most green teas, it contains a higher amino acid content and lower polyphenol content, making the taste refreshing without astringency.

A subtle, nice green tea that lasts for a whole lot of infusions. Great start of the day!

Really enjoyed this tea. I think I will adapt steeping times to my personal preferences but the leaves are excellent. So fresh!

The color is very light. The taste is clear and smooth. It smells fruity and sweet, and the taste shifts over time to match that. It's vegetal, buttery, and lemony.

I liked the first 2 infusions but the 3rd was a little too light and then went into raw green beans. Not my fav but I appreciate the experience.

I actually had this on May 5th, before I knew of the "club" feature. It was sweet and fresh, very nice. I don't have a highball glass, but did use my fair cup at first, to enjoy the dancing leaves. 😅 I'm reposting to… more
