Anybody familiar with An Ji Xian Lu Cha? It is (was) one of my favourite greens, but since my previous vendor has closed her business, I could not find it anywhere else. Thanks for any pointers!

may have this tea.....not sure, but, I thought this was a white tea? or does lu cha indicate "green"? Shen
I think Anji Xian means Anji County in Zhejiang, and Lucha means green tea. In other words, I suspect your vendor's name was a generic description that could apply to a number of different teas.

Thank you, Lew. That would explain why I could not find it. BTW, the vendor sold this tea first under the name Wu Yi Shen Cha, and later she changed the name to An Ji Xian Lu Cha, explaining that she just learned the real name of this tea. I am afraid that Wu Yi Shen Cha is as generic name as the other one. Or...?

No, it was definitely a green tea.

I don't know what shen cha would be, but Wuyi is quite a long way from Anji. Maybe this vendor's terminology doesn't bear much looking into?
