Anybody familiar with An Ji Xian Lu Cha? It is (was) one of my favourite
greens, but since my previous vendor has closed her business, I could not
find it anywhere else. Thanks for any pointers!

I think www.goldenteahouse.com may have this tea.....not sure, but, I
thought this was a white tea? or does lu cha indicate "green"?

I think Anji Xian means Anji County in Zhejiang, and Lucha means green
tea. In other words, I suspect your vendor's name was a generic
description that could apply to a number of different teas.

Thank you, Lew. That would explain why I could not find it. BTW, the vendor
sold this tea first under the name Wu Yi Shen Cha, and later she changed the
name to An Ji Xian Lu Cha, explaining that she just learned the real name of
this tea. I am afraid that Wu Yi Shen Cha is as generic name as the other
one. Or...?

No, it was definitely a green tea.

I don't know what shen cha would be, but Wuyi is quite a long way from
Anji. Maybe this vendor's terminology doesn't bear much looking into?
