I never expect more than two infusions from green tea, even if I can
get more I usually don't. I know the egg drop soup reference and that
isn't my type of tea at all, I prefer mellower tastes and not the
harsher tones... mellow, sweet, pale brew is all me
I'll order some of that organic lu'an since its a daily drinker
favorite of yours, I tend to gravitate towards those more accessible
teas these days. Next up is Uji and O-cha for me.
I'm also still looking to sell my kidney for some more Shui Xian like
one I tasted from Singapore that had a wonderful raisiny, roasted,
smooth flavor. I'd seriously give all the rest of my tea up for just
1/2lb. of that stuff. Honestly.
