There's also his cheap loose green Puerh (P-GPE-1), with a bold,
brothy, collard-greens-and-hambone taste.


As strange as it may be to some ,I like collard-greens and hambones.
Although I've had some strange health problems that have made hambones off
limits. So a tea with that warm brothy flavor would be appreciated.

I noticed that Holy Mountain has a loose leaf green puerh with the
designation P-GPE-1, any idea if it's the same tea? They have a
reasonably priced sample.

When I first started drinking good teas many greens and pouchongs had a
salty, brothy, sometimes fishy flavor that took me by surprise at first,
but I learned to really enjoy it. Then it seemed like my taste changed
and I no longer get that from any tea. I had a Taiwan Pouchong from
either Upton or Special Teas that reminded me of my mothers oyster stew
with some flowery notes thrown in. It was amazing. Now it just tastes
flowery and perfumey to me. I love good senchas, and at first they had
salmony sea like notes, but now I don't taste them. I noticed the same
thing with beer. My first tastes of beer was much different than how it
tastes to me now.

Drinking the last of my Xiaguan Green Tuo Cha from Teaspring.com and
listening to Luther Allison Live in Chicago.
