Mese Hsin Tung Yang Foods Co dba New Horizon - any good?
I've been drinking a Ti Kuan Yin from said company that I picked up in
an Asian supermarket in Las Vegas' Chinatown. At first I thought I liked it, but now it tastes like cigarette butts. Am I picking up flavors that I didn't notice earlier or am I maybe preparing it wrong? It doesn't seem like the highest quality tea, so I'm not surprised by the flavor. I just tried their Pouchong yesterday and actually liked it. I'm not a big fan of green teas (mostly because greens and whites seem to make me a little spacey), but I think the slight oxidation of this tea appeals to me over a truly green tea. Thanks! Alan

That is the Dim Sum version. The newer style is a more agreeable
green and doesnt need food. I'm a big fan of Taiwan teas. Alan wrote: I've been drinking a Ti Kuan Yin from said company that I picked up in an Asian supermarket in Las Vegas' Chinatown.
