I'm uncomfy about this, not because it's genetically altered, but because the nutty flavour feels like an essential aspect of longjing and getting rid of it seems counterproductive.

I find it very very hard to believe green tea smells like cake. To me loose green tea smells like cut leaves, almost like grass. I have tried 160 degrees and steeping Amed loose leaf green tea a few minutes and it is still bitter. I fear letting the tea sit in the water for hours. I'm I over sensitive to bitter?

There are a lot of different types of green tea, and they vary in flavor profiles and levels of bitterness. There might be a better green tea for you out there : )

Give this traditional processed stuff a try if you haven’t yet! We also only sell it after it’s rested a year. The fresh tea sometimes has too much smoke on top, but after a year it sinks into the tea and becomes very mineral sweet!
