What can I say? I'm rapidly running out of tea puns.

Anyone have any recommendations for a green tea other than dragon well?

Hmmm, once upon a time I had a bi luo chun that was fantastic. Unfortunately after that I tried about a dozen and I hated them all. Most of the (non pu'er) time, I drink dragon well.

How about some Japanese greens?

BTW - love the title

There is always Lipton. :biggrin: Just kidding, don't shoot me or anything. You may now return to your regularly scheduled thread about green tea alternatives.

Liu an gua pian or melon seed has always been a favourite of mine but it can be a little mild for some. Mao Jian is a great everyday green, I believe it's the little brother of Mao Feng. Tai Ping Hou Kiu is really fantastic stuff a worth shelling out a little extra to get a good grade, if you don't like it at very least it looks damn impressive.

and you can't really go wrong with a decent sencha or gyokuro.

.......unless you overbrew by a fraction of a second or get the temp a few points off.

What can I say? I'm rapidly running out of tea ouns.Yes, you are.


Anyone have any recommendations for a green tea other than dragon well?I like pedestrian Chinese green teas that aren't unduly fussy as far as time & temperature goes and are fruity rather than vegetal. I'm rather fond of this one (http://www.specialteas.com/product_detail.aspx?item_no=112+04+00+38+1).
