My favorite green tea is Long Jing (龙井茶) that I bought in China. I am almost out. Good thing I am going back to China next Month. I am running out of the good stuff. Long Jing is also known sometimes as Dragon's Well Tea. I bought some Long Jing in a Chinese food store here... NOT THE SAME! The leaves should be small, about the size of a pine needle but a little wider. The taste should be slightly nutty and never bitter. I am not sure if this is good for you but I like to eat the leaves after several cups.

That sounds very nice. I only go to the grocery store but I subscribe to Peet’s newsletter and they have nice tea. As much as I love coffee it is just a good beverage. Tea on the other hand, I can sense it coursing throughout me and I feel different per the tea. I have never melded with tea as quickly and thoroughly as I have green tea. I don’t know if it is healthy. All that healthy stuff might be just marketing. Now I am reading that oolong teas is healthy, too. I enjoy reading about Peet’s teas. I realize the flower is man made but it looks very exotic : http://www.peets.com/shop/tea_detail.asp?rdir=1&id=550&cid=2006&cm_mmc=Hdemail*07.09.17_PEO*hd*billboard

I like to study this site, too. The tea is very pretty. There should be tea clubs like there are wine tasting clubs. Sometimes I think my alternate life should have been a fine tea importer. https://www.adagio.com/green/green_sampler.html?SID=f81f439a0705f9a9da837967c9703bda
