Walking this morning, surrounded by the exuberance of a New York spring, I felt a bit gloomy. After searching for a reason, I came up with this: I haven't had a good cup of green tea in a couple of months. I've been drinking a few different greens, but they've all been boring, generic at best.
(I'm aware that this ranks pretty low on the scale of suffering in the world today. I'm also aware that some tea has been harvested already this year, and some of it is undoubtedly for sale somewhere.)
I suppose it's over-optimistic to expect a green from last year to taste fresh in April, even if it's been kept carefully. But maybe there are varieties that store better than others. Is anyone currently drinking a last year's green and *enjoying* it?
