    Those shops may have same name products there and for a fortune, I could get some excellent Darjeeling, but for the years I have lived in both London and New York, I had no idea of real Chinese tea quality until the first Tea Hong package arrived. The definition of tea changed since.

    I think you need ample quantity for at least a few trials to know a new tea. I think the new packaging seems to be good for that. I’ll have to wait for my new order to come in to see.

    This is inspirational! How did you get the tea bush?

    I still have much to learn

    I get it. This is like learning to cook. You have to know the characteristics of all of your ingredients first. There is so much info in this site and I am happy that I have been reading it for over a year now, but if I had not really get to the different teas it describes, I would not really know the difference between a Phoenix and a White Peony!

    I know that if you whip some cream and add it to any strong black tea together with sugar it will taste good, but only when used occasionally. Not as pleasant as straight teas especially when you drink it all day long.

    I use a small teaspoon of Leo’s Tieguanyin Light in my tea mug (I think it is about 250 cc) and it is great. In subsequent infusions, I can go for 2, 3, 4, or even 5 minutes. I once measured a small teaspoon is about 5 gram Tieguanyin. If I use Tieguanyin Deep Brown, 2 minutes is quite strong, but great if you drink it while hot. I do 1 minute and a half if I like it lighter. I can also make it very strong using very hot water and 3, 4 minutes of infusion for adding sugar (raw, of course) and milk in it. Great tasting.

    I am interested in exploring the Yixing pot with oolong too. How to choose one made from good genuine Yixing clay? I have heard that imitation or low quality ones can be harmful to health.

    I vote for white. White Peony Classic Floral from Tea Hong is my daily tea!

    That really sounds like an interesting tea. I have been a bit reluctant to try green tea because to my understanding of what Leo has written about TCM, I should be drinking more other tea varieties. I never had any good experience with green tea before anyway. The best I had was some Japanese loose tea in a foil bag from an Asian grocery store though. I can’t even remember the name. This Curly Silver Spring seems to be really worth a try. I guess a cup of good tasting green tea a day wouldn’t hurt…
