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.

Talking to makers in the village, they never want you to say their tea tastes like chestnuts, insisting it’s mostly the lesser quality Dragonwell with the chestnut, but I like them both

@@onerivertea Learning the stories behind the brew in my cup has changed how I experience it. An incredible journey from sprouting leaf to final sip! And this video has shown that although the process of making white tea is simple, it isn’t easy. The margin for error is narrow at every step along the way.

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?

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!
