Gene's Tasting Notes (about?):
An enigmatic tea. It is just a little more delicate and floral than some other Bi Luo Chun I have tried. If you brew it the way you would any other fine green--that is two minutes at 180deg--you will get light green brew with a bit of perfume, a bit like a lightly fired Taiwanese oolong, and a bit of toasty grass for your palate. You sip, thinking there is something more here that you can't quite get at. Intriguing.

However, for a richer experience, brew it more like a white tea for two to three minutes in a Gaiwan with the leaves staying in the brew, or brew with the leaves in your cup and drink off the top. Now the tea has a more developed floral quality along with a little vegetable edge that gives a good green tea just enough bite to keep it interesting. The infused leaves at the bottom of the glass look more like the tender growth of a white tea than a green. Also, like a fine white teas, I don't think it is likely that you will oversteep this tea. When your nose gets near the invigorated young greens at the bottom of the glass, you get a hit of a freshly mowed lawn. This is not an inexpensive tea to wash down food. It is a tea to contemplate over the course of several leisurely infusions.
