Upton: Organic Wuyuan Ruikang Green
This is an excellent, everyday, Chinese green tea. The dried scent is oceanic with a slight sweetness and vegetal accent to it. Wuyuan Ruikang Green is fun to drink. It’s affordable, easy to make, and full of flavor. To add to the quality of the product, it’s certified organic. After steeping the tea in a water temperature of around 180 degrees for a couple of minutes, you’re left with a dark yellow infusion that is full of character. I detect flavors of floral sweetness, a slightly salty bite, and a delicious vegetal (green) finish. This is a green tea that most people will find enjoyable. It has a lot of properties sometimes found in Chinese black tea and certain Oolongs. I typically steeped the tea in a Gaiwan. Typically, I made three infusions of the tea at a time. The great thing about this tea is the fact that you can experiment and steep the tea to your flavor preference. It’s difficult to mess up.
Upton describes the tea as: A full-flavored green tea with a sweet floral note and mild tartness. Overall, a very satisfying tea, priced for everyday consumption.
