I am new to regular tea drinking. I have read about the qualities and
virtues of green tea. Whether they are true or not is not important.
What
I am looking for is a green tea that has more flavor and body than a cup
of
hot, greenish yellow water. I brew at the recommended concentration and
temperature but only get minimal results. Am I expecting too much? Is
this
tea supposed to be like that? Any recommendations and suggestions
welcomed,
I think.

Thanks

EC


Ed,

Another green you can try is Gunpowder (note, though, that a black Gunpowder
is also available). One I like is SpecialTeas No. 531 Temple of Heaven
Gunpowder China. I find this tea to have a distinct flavor that I think has
subtle smoke, leather and flower components. Also, I find it's fairly
forgiving of time and temperature, and you can get at least two very good
infusions.

Regards,
Dean
