From Yunnan Sourcing

After tasting Lu Shan Yun Wu (Lu Mountain Cloud Mist) from a tea chum’s family farm in Zhejiang we just had to offer this tea to our customers. Lu Shan Cloud Mist Green Tea is well known tea throughout China and the world.

The taste of the tea is sweet, thick with an umami after-taste that filters back into mouth from the throat. A very comfortable green tea with little harshness and lots if viscosity which gives the an expansive feeling inRead more

Another really tasty green tea from YS. It was very similar to the Xinyang Mao Jian that I had earlier this summer. A lot of fruity sweetness and creaminess. This one in particular had some noticeable sweet creaminess that reminded me of coconut. All of this was balanced by the edamame and corn notes you would expect from a green.

Overall, the Lu Shan Yun Wu was just a bit more savory and had a touch more bitterness. Still, one of the best green teas I’ve had. It’s just one of those teas that I really looked forward to drinking.

It was fairly sensitive to brewing parameters, so be sure to watch your temps and steep times.
*
Dry Leaf – sweet notes like a cherry danish (cherry compote, pastry, cream), coconut, roasted corn, edamame. In preheated vessel – corn and edamame prevalent

Smell – corn, edadame, sweet grass, baking spices, creamed corn

Taste – roasted corn, edamame, sweet corn, sweet grass, coconut, pina-colada, cherry compote, buttery pastry, mint, hops-like citrus bitter/sweet, some lemongrass

Coconut is a good observation, especially in the early steeps. Although, I am reminded more of the richness of coconut water.

Coconut water is accurate!

I’ve mainly had this as a workplace tea using a tumbler. Now I know it’s much better with a gaiwan. I get more of those baking spices and creamed corn aromas and citrus notes that way.

My Lu Shan Yun Wu Green Tea was picked Spring 2017. I’m brewing it gong fu style and its coming out very vegital – spinach in particular. It give a very sour/astringent finish which is a bit off putting but after around 15-20 seconds I can taste a very sweet fruity notes not unlike fruit loops which keeps me coming back for more. I really love teas that transform like this so I would recommend it!

This is a bold, medium-bodied tea with savory and vegetal qualities, a hint of smoke, and noticeable astringency. The flavors here, in combination with the dryness, do not appeal to me.

I’ve been drinking down a load of green teas I got from YS in the fall but just never got around to reviewing. They’ve all been pretty good.

Today I am having this one. It’s a slightly astringent green with a bit of nutty & green bean notes. I tend to really like the deep green flavour from green teas. Because this one is very light on that I am enjoying it; but it’s not my favouite out of all my greens.

I think some of the greens I have from Spring 2016 (this once included) are starting to fade just a bit. It’s really surprising how a fresh green tea can be so good I would rate it 100. Then one year later, it wouldn’t even taste like the same tea. I store them in a dark cool room but they still fade a bit over time.

Flavors: Astringent, Green Beans, Nutty

Which one has been your favorite so far? I always get a stash of new greens from YS every spring, and am always open to suggestions. In the meantime, enjoy those greens before it’s too late!

My favourite is Imperial Xinyang Mao Jian Green Tea of Henen Spring 2016. Coming in close are both the Laoshan greens.

Yes, I am trying my best to drink down all the greens (plus other teas in my collection) so that I can order spring green tea early. The last few years I always overspent between Black Friday and Christmas. This year I only placed one small order!

Do you have some favourite greens from YS too?

Bi Luo Chun is still my go-to. I had a great Long Jing in 2014 (can’t remember what grade), but this year’s left me disappointed. Teng Chong Hui Long Zhai is good if you like young raw puer, but probably isn’t for most green tea drinkers – definitely delivers a kick!

Thanks for the recommendations – Laoshan was on my list for 2017; definitely will be adding Xinyang Mao Jian. Cheers!

Thanks! Try out Nan Jing Yu Hua Cha from Grand Tea for next spring plus the Fragrant Greens from Taiwan Tea Crafts. All were really good this year.
I will keep that pu-erh in mind. I enjoy the young raw pu-erh once in awhile. Have some of my favourite cakes on those.

Little edit – Teng Chong Hui Long Zhai is a green tea, just has the astringency and bite of a young raw. Thanks again for the recommendations!

(This is for the Autumn 2015 harvest) Brewed very simply from one glass Cha Hai to another, as I usually do for pan-fried green teas. I brewed with a good amount of leaves (not weighed) for short infusions at 75c / 167f. Lovely thick green tea that coats the mouth and throat with lasting ‘umami’ taste (usually the reason I drink stronger Japanese Sencha because I find that taste more intense). This is a nice green tea though, and not too expensive so I would definitely recommend it to green tea fans.
