I turn towards the producer and told him: "Are you sure it is not a green tea?"<br />He replied arguing that no shaqing (first step of green tea production) was done on these leaves.<br /><br />By drinking it more and more I realized what, to my palate, distinguish this tea from the green teas: the absence of that kind of "chestnut taste" that many people associate with all green teas.<br /><br />Xue Ya remains an uncommonly grassy white tea and I am surprised how much our customers like it.<br />Personally, I prefer the full and deep taste of Bai Mu Dan, especially when aged. I like it even better than the most expensive and sought after Yin Zhen.nannuoshanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07142052448023987653noreply@blogger.com
