Meng Ding Huang YaChina, Green Tea

Silky leaves shaped like pine needles. Very sweet scent with notes of white chocolate and milk, followed by sweet corn and bonito. Clear yellow-brown infusion, brothy with a kind of corn-like "chew". Takes several brews with good color. Unique and lovely.

Tea: Upton Tea, ZG62 (discontinued)
Gaiwan: Red Blossom Tea, Jingdezhen Summer

Upton Tea description: "This Sichuan province classic has a noble and venerable pedigree, being used long ago as a tribute tea. It is composed mainly of downy buds, with a small complement of young leaf. The complex flavor has a pleasant sweetness, and a hint of steamed zucchini. The mouthfeel has a brothy character and the aftertaste is smooth and light."
