Default Pu Ti From Teaspring

Alton,

There are 2 types of Pu Ti Tea. 1 is the real thing, a herbal tea also
known as Linden Tea, the other is just a name given 4 ausipicious
meaning, named after the event of sanctification of GuanYin in AnXi.
The 1 you had was the latter, which is basically Da Hong Pao from WuYi
renamed. There are plenty of sources out there 4 Da Hong Pao, but
since the 1 offered by Teaspring is from 2006, you might want 2 search
around 4 an older Da Hong Pao - fired @ medium strength, the tea has a
drying effect on the throat & the flavor of heat when new, after 2
years of storage & mellowing down, it should taste much better.
