second flush has come and gone

i have not heard mention of any 'must have' teas for this grouping.
was it a poor harvest

i see thunderbolt has some on for high price, but no positive
comments.

as for me i am awaiting my order of nine teas from yunnan llc.
the order will be here in about 5-7 business days. i still check my
mailbox 3 times a day, in case it has magically appeared =)

I just ordered Nilgiri, Ceylon, Assam, Malawi, Java, and some
Christmas melange. Only one of them is a "must have," but I don't
know which one. I have some gunpowder to get through before I order
more greens. What are your nine? Toci

I know Yunnan is great for puerh's, but i have some from there
already. they are nice, but i like whites, oolong and other teas.
Thankfully he has great prices on these as well. His Yunnan silver
needle white is amazing and i believe it was $29 for 500g, that is
unheard of, others sell comparable silver needle for $100-150 for
500g.

I got some milk oolong locally for $5 for 25g, which is $50 for 250g,
here i get 250g for $25, and my local store does not carry these types
of tea. i got enought to get me through another canadian winter. the 7
day shipping was 28 but with the price of gas, i would have spent 25
going to a better tea store 60 miles away return trip. with the great
prices, i do not mind the shipping it all works out.
I am awaiting these teas.

Jin Xuan Taiwan Oolong Spring '08 * Golden Lily
Early Spring Premium Bi Luo Chun * Pi Lo Chun
Big Red Robe * Wu Yi Rock Tea * Fujian Oolong
Spring 2008 Phoenix Dan Cong * Orchid Nectar Aroma
Fancy Ben Shan Oolong of Anxi * Wulong Tea
Yunnan Pure Small Bud Black Tea * Gold Tips
Premium Simao Black Tea * Hong Piao Xiang
Hairy Crab Oolong Tea of Anxi
Banana Black

two were 250g, others were 100g , and the final price is great for me
for 1100g of high qulaity teas shipped

October will be a tea-induced dream month for me
i just have to get the Phoenix Dan Cong steeped right, 15029 steepings
is new to me, i get 5-8 from puerh's. i was told here to do flash
infushings.

Four oolongs, three blacks, and three greens? It sounds balanced at
any rate. I counted up and I just ordered 495 grams, all black, and
have a similar amount uncounted in my tea shelf of green, oolong, and
puehr. That should last me through my much milder Missouri
winter. Toci
