Laoshan Green
Laoshan is your everyday drinker. Having slightly larger and thicker leaves afford this tea a more robust flavor and being well balanced, it's easy to play with. Experiment with your brewing temps and discover different nuances such as seaweed, salt, lemon, pungency, umami, savory and vegetal. Lower brewing temps produce creamy honey tones. 4-5 infusions are recommended.
