Ever since I began drinking tea I've always wanted to be able to make a low
astringency tea (not a tisane) with a green tint that appears as in the
photo at
http://www.o-cha.com/

Well, I'm getting closer. Tazo has Chinese varietal blend teabags they call
'China Green Tips'.

Description: "... blend of high-grow Chinese Mao feng green teas that are
cultivated in Zhejiang province and plucked in th spring. After harvesting,
th tea is quickly steamed to halt fermentation..."

I've been brewing it for 10 minutes in a covered glass cup at a starting
temp 180F (82C) and have been able to produce an infusion with an
extraordinary green hue and a flavor that I like. It's not as green as the
photo on that o-cha.com web page, but it still looks really cool; really
unusual.One might presume from appearance only that this brew would be
grassy tasting, but it isn't.

If any of you folks get a chance, please try it and leave your comments in
this thread.
