Default Tea style by visual inspection.

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.
