Indie Teas

Today I am reviewing another tea from Dream About Tea. You can check out the first tea I reviewed here. This tea is called Lushan Yun Wu and it's a green tea from Jiangxi, China. 

The Nose and Color: The smell is wonderful. It smells like peaches a little bit before steeping and the leaves are thin and wiry which I don't see too often out of teas from China. However, after I steeped it it immediately made me think of a green pekoe. I noticed after steeping that the leaves were a bit uneven and choppy. I didn't really like that too much because I like to see a thorough consistency throughout. The color was a nice light green/yellow.

Tasting: After tasting it made me really think of Adagio's Green Pekoe even more. It tastes kind of like snow peas with a salty component. I liked it and seemed like a very traditional green tea. I was a little worried about the consistency of the tea leaves but it didn't make a difference in the end.

Food Pairing: I would pair this tea with some nice salty treats to really bring out the salty aspect of the tea.

Price: $25.00 for 2.0 oz

Summary: 86 out of 100. This tea tasted good and had some interesting aromas. I recommend it to help develop your palate but due to its price I wouldn't really recommend it for everyday steeping.
