From Verdant Tea

This rare offering from Li Xiaoping can only be picked in years where the weather is perfectly cool and temperate and the rain is very light. At the very top of Li Xiaoping’s peak of Shi Feng there is a grove of trees that have been allowed to grow undisturbed to preserve a natural habitat for birds and increase biodiversity. Among the trees are tea plants that have not been cut back and trimmed every year like the lower slope plants. BecauseRead more

Not in a very energetic mood for long and detailed review, so here we go.

1st infusion (80˚C, 0:30)
Aroma of wet leaves is very fragrant, but entirely on the savoury and vegetal side, maybe slightly nutty… not sweet or fruity or buttery at all like the #43 or the 2nd Picking which I’ve already tried. There might even be a more mineral, bittersweet quality to it.
Liquor itself is surprisingly bitter and astringent. I didn’t time how long I steeped for, but don’t think it exceeded 20-30 sec.
Rating: 78

2nd infusion (80˚C, 0:30)
Wet leaves and liquor have gorgeous “fresh spring meadow” scent. Still has this astringency/herbal bitterness (like guilinggao!) in the aftertaste – perhaps that is the wildness and uncultivatedness of this tea. I slightly prefer this infusion to the previous one.
