Default A Few Really Nice Tea Finds In Los Angeles

WRONG NAME ON THE BLACK TEA FROM CHADO - IT'S A YUNNAN CALLED "Zhen
Qu". I was guessing on the name since I couldn't really read the
writing on the sample bag and thought it may be the one in the
catalog. But, it is Yunnan. Wow! I had it again this morning and it's


Did they tell you specifically that it was a *Yunnan* tea? The Chado Zhen Qu
(http://www.chadotea.com/rlist.asp?reservedid=256) is stated on their
website to be a "Panyang" tea, which from my observation is old Euro/Brit
teaspeak for Fujian province, not Yunnan. (Upton also uses variations on
that term a lot - they've also told me specifically that it means Fujian.)

So, did you have *both* the Zhen Qu and the Sechrna Keemun? I think those
are two of their best teas.
