but how do these turkeys taste in comparison to store bought?

I tried several different types of puerh- I have not found one that I enjoy-if it is an acquired educated taste to like it- I have failed- I have though been enjoying my tasting of oolongs-I have discovered which oolongs I enjoy the most- green-lightly oxidized/fermented oolongs from taiwan/formosa- i have sampled almost 20 different kinds of oolong from a variety of websites- the best are directly from taiwan-www.teahomeusa.com and www.floatingleaves.com i also enjoy the teas from www.shanshuiteas.com- joanne

the best place to start exploration is to buy sample size teas-not samplers- many online sites have sample sizes- many of the sample sizes come in amounts of less 1 oz.-if you don't like a tea-you don't have 2-3oz. of it in your tea collection. i am not against purchasing samplers- www.rishi-tea.com www.tentea.com www.uptontea.com www.imperialtea.com www.teasource.com www.funalliance.com-they also have chinese tea 101 explanations joanne

I think we should be tolerant of all people including those who enjoy scented/flavored teas/tissanes- I started out enjoying herbal tissanes and flavored teas- the next step is exploring other teas- please be patient-don't turn off the person drinking these "atroci-teas" joanne

I have been exploring the world of lightly oxidized oolongs- I have tried bao zhong, li-sha and dong ding oolongs from www,tentea.com www.thefragrantleaf.com www.shanshuitea.com www.teacentre.ca www.uptontea.com www.rishi-tea.com are there others on e-gullet who enjoy these teas? joanne
