I have been lead astray trying several times trying to identify a tea by
taste from a fuzzy memory. All the teas that rang the bell were excellent, but none looks right. The tea I am looking for has long twisted leaved that are mottled green and bronze. I can't say which color predominates. My taste-memory has "accepted" bao zhongs, green ti kuan yins, and yellow teas as being "it". The liquor was a pale yellow after 3 min steeping in water brought to the boil. The tea had a tremendous aroma that really got up into my nasal cavities when slurped like wine, and a long vegetal aftertaste. I don't recall any flowery elements in either aroma or taste. My sense of taste and smell might have changer over the years but my memory of what the leaf looked like hasn't. WEL |
