I didn't order any tea today, but last week I got my order from Holy
Mountain tea. It consisted of another 1/4 pound of their wakamidori sencha
that I enjoyed so much about a year ago, a 1/4 pound of their jo genmai cha
(very nice to drink in the middle of the day, and low in caffeine), and a
pu-ehr sampler (8 different kinds, yum). So far I've tried the pu-ehr
golden melon. My current standard pu-ehr is the organic pu-ehr from Rishi.
I like it. It is mellow and warm with no rough edges. Compared with that,
the golden melon is not as mellow or lasting in the mouth, and has sort of
a gray, almost metallic note to it. If I had to choose between the two,
I'd stay with the Rishi. I plan to go through the samples and see how they
relate to each other and to the pu-ehr I have from Rishi. Exploring is
fun!
