Une légère astringence apparait ensuite sur la langue et au fond de la gorge.<br />A la deuxième infusion, j'ai réduit le temps d'infusion pour essayer d'atténuer l'astringence : des accents fruités et fleuris sont apparus derrière la dominance de caramel. Les infusions sont assez proches dans l'ensemble. Ce thé reste longtemps en bouche : une heure après l'avoir dégusté, on garde encore un souvenir marqué en bouche qui s'atténue ensuite au fur et à mesure.<br />Très bon thé. Maintenant il me tarde de gouter le Oriental Beauty de Hsin Chu !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326672.post-13620599219467725612009-06-29T09:57:22.948+08:002009-06-29T09:57:22.948+08:00Thank you very much Andrew for your kind words abo...Thank you very much Andrew for your kind words about my 1000th post and my blog in general. <br /><br />Looking forward hearing from you soon, before my summer vacation.TeaMastershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02433657904904185875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326672.post-1361460629494858912009-06-29T00:56:28.264+08:002009-06-29T00:56:28.264+08:00Many congratulations and your 100 excellent post. ...Many congratulations and your 100 excellent post.

Funny that you would ask, because I was wondering the same thing while tasting several top grades with the farmer this week. And, of course, it's different. At this level, two teas are different like top wines are different from year to year. They all have their distinctive personality. Life is change. And even the 2007 top OB isn't what it was 2 years ago. I had some recently from my tiny private stash, and it has evolved. More mellow and deeper fragrances.<br /><br />So, if you look for exactly the same, you'd be disappointed, but if you're open for an exquisite OB than you'll find that this year's top OB is very pure and pleasant. And I find it better than last year's. More details next week, I guess.TeaMastershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02433657904904185875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326672.post-87408776531634347722009-06-26T22:30:41.786+08:002009-06-26T22:30:41.786+08:00I, too, am happy that your this significant post w...I, too, am happy that your this significant post was devoted to OB, especially since I noticed last night that it had been added to your list (and just as I was going to ask you about it, too). Tell me, how does this top grade compare to 2007's "perfect?" Is it from the same grower?Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09374503706130270868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326672.post-67373196256284826712009-06-26T10:36:38.208+08:002009-06-26T10:36:38.208+08:00Thanks Celina and Formosan at Heart.Thanks Celina and Formosan at Heart.TeaMastershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02433657904904185875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326672.post-40063287506200388802009-06-26T06:55:09.118+08:002009-06-26T06:55:09.118+08:00I <3 this tea!

I have brought great time with similar group in Asia before, yes, very lovely people, with that breathtaking architecture.<br />A pity the tea meeting´s a bit from here, or the group could have made use of our teahouse, modest, but w/ indoor/outdoor facilities. (Oh!Just feeling hospitable too, when it´s like w/in Europe)& it could have been interesting of course.EnKoppZenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00150337606979076757noreply@blogger.com
