Mao Jian King from White2Tea is a very good green tea.

Shhhh, don't tell anyone, they're both great teas, but I actually prefer White2Tea's Mao Jian No 2 to their Mao Jian King.

I do still think the 2024 Mei Tan Mao Feng was my fave from the spring green MyTeaPal shipment, no matter what it says about my taste in tea.

Is it a suspension or a solution? (Very nice Meng Ding Mao Feng from MyTeaPal club).

Song Luo Cha green tea is an historically significant tea from Anhui Province. This example is from the MyTea Pal Club. Light flavor, slight (not unpleasant) bitterness if you oversteep, zippy energy.

Second dose of 2024 Da Fo Long Jing from My Tea Pal Club. Absolutely nothing wrong with it, but the flavor is a tad subtle for my personal taste.

2024 Meng Ding Mao Feng green tea from MyTeaPal club. This is the Sichuan Mao Feng, the other was from Guizhou. This one is an earlier pick than the other and it shows in the cleaner, sweeter flavors/scents of the tea. They're both great green teas, but if I picked one to drink more of, I'd probably pick the Mei Tan Mao Feng from Guizhou.

When I complemented the proprietor of MyTeaPal on their 2024 Mei Tan Mao Feng they said, "For the two Mao Feng teas, the picking grade is lower than the other two teas, but having more leaves makes the flavor more rich. I can see why that's the case for a puerh drinker like you." Which, I dunno, is that a bit of a slam? Heh, well, it is true, I like richer flavored green teas...

Another warm day, another dragonwell day. Last of the Dragonwell, Master Long's Studio, (2022) from One River Tea.

Simple pleasures, green tea in a big mug. Slightly aged Dragonwell from One River Tea.

I'm always a little nervous about Long Jing Dragonwell green tea. It's sort of a situation like Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil, where it seems like there is more Italian Extra Virgin olive oil on the market than could be grown in Italy. Same for Long Jing Dragonwell, it seems like there is more Dragonwell tea on the market than could possibly be grown in Long Jing Village. Plus, I had a really bad body experience once with Dragonwell green tea.

In any case, this is a very nice Dragonwell, "Mr Long's Studio," from One River Tea, toasty nutty scent, sweet chestnut flavor, clean light taste, even oversteeped.

My wife says White2Tea's Bamboo Green is a little "grassy or something". It does remind me a bit of the sweet smell of mown grass.

Bamboo Green from White2Tea is a clean green tea with a little orchid scent/flavor.

Emerald buds green tea has a nut or grain like scent, a bit similar to longjing dragonwell. It is from Guizhou Province and the name is translated from "cui ya".

Another green tea appropriate warm spring day, so breaking out the Mao Jian No 2 from White2Tea.

"Golden Green" is such a nice name for a tea, and it is a pleasant light green tea, I can't resist another day of it. Clean, zippy energy.

Was looking through the green teas and came across this 2021 Golden Green from One River Tea. Oops. Normally try to drink green tea before they get more than a couple years old. In any case, while some of the youthful vigor may have faded, it is still an interesting tea.

Lauterbachs Homöopathie-Pläne wohl schwer umsetzbar

Zu Jahresbeginn kündigte Gesundheitsminister Lauterbach an, Homöopathie als Kassenleistung zu streichen. Das zog teils laute Kritik nach sich. Nun ist der entsprechende Passus im Gesetzentwurf verschwunden. Von N. Bader und T. Handel.

@tagesschau Ouh, das wirft kein gutes Licht auf die im Südwesten, wenn man da die Wortlaute von und so vernimmt... 🤔

Kommt schon, die Evidenz muss einziger Maßstab sein!

Warm enough yesterday that I got out some green tea. I meant to drink up this ganlu from White2Tea last year, but nice to have it around for a warm spring day. (Yeah, I'm lazy brewing Chinese tea in a Japanese Kyusu.)

Noticed over the last few hours at least 4-5 new bot accounts have spammed a thread I made last week with random comments with links to purchase shite. They seem to target older threads I assume to reduce the risk of people finding and removing the comments/links but should any of you see such comments, please to report them so...
