I have changed my mind about Tea Hong. In fact I decided to give away many of my teas since I had too many, and the Tea Hong teas are the ones I kept. I like the quality very much! All of them, greens included.
I just got the Phoenix Honey Orchid, it is excellent!!
Thank you Tea Hong and thank you Leo!!
As for the dampness thing, I’m pretty sure I do tend towards dampness. I don’t think I’ll stop drinking tea though. 🙂
I had some Souchong Pure last night. It was amazing, both the taste and effects! I was awake all night long very involved in what I was doing. I used less than a teaspoon of tea and brewed one cup for three minutes. It is extremely potent for me!
Occasionally it is ok!I understand these can be high in pesticides. Better to get organic or from a reputable source if possible. “Dragon Herbs” Goji berries are very tasty – I recommend these!
Hi Leo! by ‘too strong’ I mean the effect is too stimulating and it can make me irritable or anxious. It is more than just the amount of tea used in brewing, something about black tea always does this to me. I still drink it occasionally when I need to do mental work but for everyday drinking I prefer green, white, and sometimes pu-erh or oolong. Maybe this is because black tea is more warming and I tend to have a warm constitution already.
After 5 months I have learned to really appreciate the Orchid Gratus. The bitterness of it is very therapeutic for me as it helps to balance my blood sugar when I eat too many sweets. It is a very fine quality tea with a nice flavor.
I also really like the Imperial Golden Tip. It is also therapeutic for me, I drink it after consuming too much fatty food that is high in cholesterol. It also has a good taste.The unsmoked Lapsang is an amazing black tea, but like all black teas, it is too strong for me!These are my favorite Tea Hong teas that I have tried so far. The green and white teas I tried were somewhat underwhelming compared to others I’ve tried but I would not hesitate to order darker oolongs and pu-erh from Tea Hong in the future.Really like the Taiping Houkui and Luan Guapian too, as well as the Imperial Golden Tip! All excellent teas.
Not sure I understand the Orchid Gratus yet, though. Seems a bit bitter compared to the sample of Pheonix Osmanthus that I really loved.Very much enjoying the tea from Tea Hong, especially the black and darker oolong teas I’ve tried so far.
I was hoping to do a five day trip for me and my partner and keep it under $3000. Looks like airfare will be around $1800 for us on air china. I want to eat healthy but somewhat cheaply if possible. Also am considering trying airbnb for lodging – maybe then I can cook my own meals sometimes. Don’t need to rent a car as I hear public transport is great. We want to do hiking, swimming, swimming at beaches, check out various attractions and night life, and visit great tea houses. Maybe bring some tea home with me!!
