Thank you for the welcome In retrospect I am not very pleased with imperial tea court for not being upfront with the information on the puerh. They mention aging the puerh. That wouldn't make much difference unless it was a raw puerh correct? Of course they could just be blowing smoke. Today I had a Genmaimatcha (Ito En), Nilgiri (Rishi), Shiso Sencha (Ito En), and Imperial Keemun Mao Feng. I also met a rep from Rishi today. Apparently the Taiwanese Oolongs are pretty fresh right now. I also ran in to a rep from Ito En as well. I sampled their bottle teas Oi Ocha—Ryokucha, Oi Ocha—Koi Aji, a Jasmine Green, and an Oolong Blend. The Oi Ocha—Ryokucha and the Oi Ocha—Koi Aji are basically the same except the Aji is brewed with more tea for a longer period of time. It has a stronger green tea taste but it is a bit bitter. After all that I had a Darjeeling (Rishi). Whew looking back I have drank a lot of tea today. Any way. I am currently drinking some Umegashima Sencha (Ito En). I will probably switch to some Uji Gyokuro (Ito En) later. Oh and one more note, I brew my green tea in this little number.
