Get the YinHao without the Jasmine scent. It will turn your throat
into a breeding ground for algae. When people talk of green tea this
is my reference tea not because it is so delicate and delightfull but
because it is felt from the tongue to the stomach. It doesnt fade.
If you dont like the first cup you wont like the next. I hate to use
the word bitter or astringent but in this case it is a good thing
because it delivers without the punch. Youll taste it all morning.
You might panic and start scraping your tongue. Ill bet youll like
the unabashed unapologenic nofrills single note taste. After awhile
the aftertaste turns to perfume which fills the nostrils as it leaves
the tongue. The infused leaf is very sticky. You can simply remove
with a spoon. Whenever things get out of kilter I drink this, when
things cant get any better I drink this. I dont drink this tea
everyday because if I did I wouldnt drink anything else. I can go and
on on what this tea does to me. If you cant find the YinHao look for
something called Spring Bud. Its a milder gentler version which I
think anybody can enjoy.

PS Im sure we all have a tea that does this for us. This is mine.
