Green tea leaf particle and leaf size
Hello, Does the tea leaf size after you steep the tea an indication
of quality of the tea batch? I've noticed some greens I have have
big full leaves. Some are mostly broken particles.
For example, I recently bought some Sencha from an Asian mart, and
although it tasted very good, I noticed from my Ingenuitea infuser
that the leaf particles were small and broken, it seemed. (so much
for Asia Marts)
Since I'm new to brewing loose leaf tea (especially greens), I have
limited experience. So I ask the tea community if this is normal, or
should I always look for full leaf sizes and bigger particle sizes.
And not to promote websites, but which ones sell fresh and new season
teas.
thanks so much and just a note to say I enjoy this forum very much.
