Hello,
I have been drinking almost exclusively loose-leaf tea for about 4 years now. I enjoy it very much, but the other day, I had a pot of tea at a Chinese restaurant, and I liked it very much. It was made with a tea bag, and I was hoping that the variety was also available is loose-leaf form.
I tried asking what kind of tea it is, but the language barrier makes even ordering at this place a challenge. I was hoping that I could try to describe the tea, and perhaps people could help me in identifying it and further let me know if and where it can be obtained in loose-leaf form.
The tea was *very* dark green in color, full-flavored and refreshing, without any hint of smokiness or bitterness whatsoever. I think it's fairly common in Chinese restaurants and bagged tea in general, and perhaps my dinner enhanced my enjoyment, but I'm not exactly sure. It wasn't the most interesting or complex tea I've ever tried, but it was nice and refreshing with the salty/spicy dish I had.
I know this is a long shot, but I'd appreciate any help anyone can offer.
Regards,
A. Mac Kean
