That's why I was able to understand you mentioning the "welcome" honey and floral notes. A lot of people would think you were crazy for tasting that but I understand how it is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808678224257528961.post-14204754339427598292009-06-11T17:23:28.093-07:002009-06-11T17:23:28.093-07:00Thanks for the info LZ.Thanks for the info LZ.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04116510823087899683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808678224257528961.post-80402474753934762412009-06-11T17:23:11.401-07:002009-06-11T17:23:11.401-07:00Hobbes, thanks for the kuddos.

As for poisoned leaves as a consquence of their ancient age? I have never ran into information which states that one could become ill from consuming ancient leaves. Although I do know that some ancient trees are not for human consumption, generally because they are not appropiate for tea.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04116510823087899683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808678224257528961.post-5840141508637549172009-06-11T11:33:25.733-07:002009-06-11T11:33:25.733-07:00Ruirong has nothing to do with Changtai.

CB was kind enough to send me some of the 2003 last year, and I found it to be pleasant but, ultimately, hollow. That vendor does has some nice teas, though.<br /><br /><br /> Best wishes, and toodlepip,<br /><br /> HobbesHobbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10719619695211038389noreply@blogger.com
