Tea tasting: Dong Yang Dong Bei Green Tea

Dong Yang Dong Bei, sometimes called Dong Yang Dony Bei, is a type of green tea, rather than a particular brand.  It's a long-leaf tea grown in the Dong Bei mountains in northeast China.

I borrowed a sample from my co-worker, a fellow tea fan, who picked it up from a local shop.  It's a nice green tea, smooth and a little malty, not too bitter as long as it is brewed correctly.  Many people identify a strong floral note, but I'm not getting that in the tea I'm drinking.  I keep coming back to malty or leafy.  Above all it's a soothing tea.  There's no harshness to it.  It goes down like a warm hug.
