Tea Type: Green Tea

Product Description:

One of the rarest of green teas, Pi Lo Chun is grown in orchards amongst fruit trees. The sweet fragrance of the fruit blossoms are absorbed by the tea leaves while growing. The short harvest season, from the Spring Equinox (end of March) to the Clear Brightness (early April), also contributes to its exclusivity.

Our Pi Lo Chun uses only the finest, most tender leaves. It’s hand picked and processed in the higher elevations of Taiwan where the tea bushes are shrouded in mist and kept cool by the high mountain air.

Sweet and crisp, this tea is well rounded and will finish with a clean, lingering taste.

Bring water to point of steam (170-180)
Steep Time: 2 – 3 Minutes
Number of Infusions: 1 – 2
Sweetener: Optional
Cream: No
Caffeine: Moderate

Tasters Review:

On my personal rating level – I have this currently set at an 89.

It has a slight buttered veggie scent but it doesn’t really taste like buttered veggies.   It’s not grassy at all!  I like that!  I like that it sort of fakes you out!  It’s also sweet but even a little floral.  The Finish and after taste are both sweet and clean!

Don’t let this one pass you by – or you pass it by, rather!  It’s a nice cuppa!

Greetings to our Readers!

The Fine Print: Each person may earn a maximum of three entries into this contest.  The contest will begin on Monday, June 14 and end at midnight on Friday, June 18.  The winner’s name will be drawn randomly and will be notified via email.  If we are unable to contact the winner in a reasonable amount of time, an alternate winner will be drawn randomly from the remaining entries. Also, as it is late at night, I may have forgotten something.  So these fine print details and/or the blog entry may be edited (that is, changed) if at a later time I see that I’ve made a mistake.  I’m human and sometimes I do that.  But, for the most part, I think that I’ve managed to say everything that I’ve needed to say.  So, enter already!

Greetings and Welcome to the SororiTEA Sisters Blog.  Jennifer and I started this blog out of our passion for tea!  We have been active reviewers for other blogs (and we hope to continue to be active for them!) however, we drink so much tea that we decided to branch out and start a blog of our own!

We are just getting things started… so please excuse our dust as we continue to set things up!

On this blog, you will find original reviews of teas that Jennifer and/or I have tasted and have enjoyed – or maybe didn’t enjoy.  It is our mission to share with you our honest feelings about a tea.  That being said, we aren’t trying to influence your decision about any particular tea. Just because we like – or don’t like – a particular tea does not mean that you will like or dislike it.  One thing that I learned a long time ago (much longer than I care to admit!) is that each tea tastes different on each individual palate.

We may also occasionally review tea accoutrements and other things related to tea (tea infused chocolates, anyone?)

So, you may be wondering:  just what qualifies ME to review tea?  And that is a valid question.  My only answer to that is that I have been in the tea business now for over eight years, and I have been flavoring and blending my own unique tea flavors and blends for even longer.  After eight years, I have decided to close my business so that I can spend more time writing about tea as well as focusing on other endeavors.  Running a business is hard work!

Even with all of that experience, I don’t consider myself an expert – I am continually learning new things about tea.  I am extremely passionate about tea.  I drink it all day, every day.

I hope that you’ll enjoy visiting the SororiTEA Sisters Blog.  We will update daily with new reviews of teas and tea products, so do make a point to check in often to see what we’re up to!   I encourage you to feel free to comment on our reviews – we’d love to hear from you!

Thanks for stopping by,

Anne aka LiberTEAS
