Good to return to this forum seeing so many meaningful discussions going on, and with such happy greetings. Prosperous New Year to everyone!
I think they do. But I am talking about traditional quality black tea not those bits and pieces. Also those old style cans are not good for tealeaves t mature in. They leak.
I’d like to think of it as a tea getting better when left alone for a duration of time. Lately I am discovering the wonderful tastes and aroma of silver needle from 2011. I compared the teas I got from a few sources and understand one thing: what Leo has been saying about true white tea means that some silver needles are not real white tea! That means they only get worse when left aside. Real white tea silver needle has become so warm, sweet, and soft in both smell and taste! So time is not only only a way to make a better tea out of silver needle, but also a test to see if a white tea is real or not!
Silver needle and good quality white peony can taste very good when steeped for enough time. I don’t have a lot of good experience with green tea, unless more expensive ones. Have not tried Leo’s Tea Hong green tea yet; because his oolongs and puers are too attractive for me to try other things yet.
