I'm glad to see that you appretiate my blog and view it as a source of information and inspiration.<BR/><BR/>Tea and biscuit, I have a sweet myself and your blog will provide interesting discussions on which sweets to eat with which tea, I guess. So far, my links are more focused on more or less 'traditional' Chinese gongfu cha. Maybe I should add another set of links for tea blogs with different approaches.<BR/><BR/>Cecil,<BR/>Chinese greens are not easily available in Taiwan either. 2 years ago, tea friends of mine brought back some real, Qingmin Qian Bi Luo Chun and Long Jin from China. The prices they paid to the farmers were (much) higher than for Gao Shan Oolong. <BR/>China's tea drinkers are now affording the best leaves and this drives prices higher. I'm currently surveying Taiwan's green teas to see if I can provide some reasonable alternative.TeaMastershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02433657904904185875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326672.post-17456772046505034622008-02-17T03:23:00.000+08:002008-02-17T03:23:00.000+08:00on the other hand chinese green tea got so expensi...on the other hand chinese green tea got so expensive in the last years, if not impossible to get. do you have a similar experience?cecil250https://www.blogger.com/profile/10998515060898025510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326672.post-5591264176563771732008-02-16T11:19:00.000+08:002008-02-16T11:19:00.000+08:00This is a very important point you make:"A cheap t...This is a very important point you make:<BR/><BR/>"A cheap tea or even a tea bag would ruin it the same way a cheap hamburger on a silver platter still only smells and tastes like a cheap hamburger! The disappointment would just be bigger. But if you can match or exceed those high expectations, then this will make this tea even more special, more complete."<BR/><BR/>I wonder how many people miss out on the many great and flavorful teas available because they vchose based on price and not quality and freshness? I really appreciate your blog. <BR/><BR/>-Ryan, <A HREF="http://www.silverleaftea.com" REL="nofollow">SilverLeafTea.com</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326672.post-54266795211319771182008-02-16T08:32:00.000+08:002008-02-16T08:32:00.000+08:00I love the tasting notes and your blog.
