Hi there Keymaster,

Thanks for your advice
To be honest it’s not the tea merchants fault, if anyone is to blame it’s me. They are actually high-quality products and the company does offer smaller taster portions, but I live abroad from where the merchant is based and I don’t want to pay lots of shipping charges, so I buy in bulk. I’ve never come across a high end tea that I didn’t like before and assumed that I never would.
The thing is, both these teas are both exceptional examples of their type, this “Ren Shen Wulong” is made with whole leaf, which is unusual. I think it’s more a case of I don’t like the taste of this type of tea. I have bought another “Jin Xuan” from Alishan, (which unlike the unfortunate “Nang Xiang Jin Xuan” that I don’t like) this one is not dark roasted over charcoal. I think I like the lightness rather than the baked in version.
Well I live and learn, thanks for your help.
Kind regards Gin
