Hi Ripon,

I got some Golden Monkey from Specialteas...I can't say it's as good or not
as good as what you have but I liked it. It was more balanced and less sour
than the golden yunnans I've had lately. (Yunnans are kinda wearing on me,
I'm not caring for them as much as I once did). I agree about the Keemun but
I'm unsure as to whether it's the tea or my tastebuds that are changing...it
seems to me that I had a Keemun Mao Feng a couple of years ago from Upton
that was very chocolaty and rich to me at the time, but my latest order of
it from them doesn't strike me as much that way, I think its leaning more
towards the smokey yunnan-ish flavor. I am also enjoying Ying de hongs from
Jing's lately, strong "tea" taste and sort of fruity to me. Tasty but
different maybe than what you are looking for.
