I was told is quite difficult to get organically grown teas from Asia...maybe there's a good business idea there somewhere. I came to this tea via a surprising discovery on TheTeeTea's Symphonie tea, surprising because it turns out their Symphonie mix is a flavoured tea and (worse!) a fruity one. However I liked it enough to seek out the house and try the Sencha which is the base of Symphonie.
The success with Symphonie and Sencha, then led me to re-visit LongJing (Dragonswell), which I found I had now developed a taste for.
Sencha
BIO, Japan [Green, Grassy] **** $$$ by TheTeeTea, CH
The
leaves smelled grassy and are quite crumbly, especially when compared to LongJing or other chinese greens.
Attention:
This tea is VERY sensitive to water temp, do not use boiling water,
make sure to cool to around 80C or the tea will be bitter.
