Brief Review Of A Very Good Green

A month or so ago, Scott (Yunnan Sourcing) included a small sample of a Spring (Green) Mao Feng in my pu-erh box. It was so delicious, I ordered more. The Yunnan Green Mao Feng is robust, with subtle, floral overtones. Very silky and smooth and holds up well to many (4-5 - a lot for a green) infusions. No astringency, with no bitterness or heavy vegetal flavours. Fragrant throughout and nutty in the middle infusions. A nice, fresh, grassy finish. Keep the water to the cooler end of tepid and infuse a bit longer for a refreshing sip. A very unique flavour and unlike any other greens I have tasted this spring.



5*****! Excellent! Big, curling bright green leaves. It was relatively reasonable. If you are interested, he has some more. Shen

I throw all my samples into a goodies box. I don't keep track of where they came from. I just gave up on trying to keep up with the samples versus what I was ordering. They're a special case because when I find one I truly enjoy its almost gone. I appreciate it that much more especially when I know the last pot is it. I have one sheng sample that is a couple of years old. I'll really be sorry when that is gone.

The last box took two weeks. Occasionally, I wait three or four. Four (rarely). Always, well-packed. Prices are good and he seems to have a knack for picking excellent teas. Someone on another list (in reply to a similar posting by myself) suggested trying his Vietnamese green. Never having had that, I may give it a go as well. Shen
