Just a short note for those who live in the UK and read your message
board. www.nothingbuttea.co.uk have just emailed to say that they
have had their new delivery from China, includes a new oolong as well
as a tippy Yunnan. They do listen to the requests of their customers,
is'nt that good!

Hope this is not too blatant - but there are not very many online
vendors in the UK who sell good teas.

Happy tea drinking.

I never try this tippy Yunnan. Personally, I am a Yunnan lover. I have
tried wide range of tippy Yunnan which I considered as Imperial
Yunnan. Few on-line vendor sells good Tippy Yunnan. I just thought, I
want to share my Yunnan experience and hope RFDT readers will also put
your thought on this issue. I am not talking about Golden Yunnan. I
have tried twenty two different kinds of Tippy Yunnan or Imperial
Yunnan. My experience say- when their are many tips in Yunnan with
long medium twisted leafs call- Imperial Yunnan. Some Tippy Yunnan
also called by Cheng-Hung or Dianhong.

It is rare to find Yunnan which leaves are tightly twisted. Can anyone
tell me, why is that? Yunnan has wide range of complex taste. It is
also a good blend tea. I want you guys to carry on this topic. My
questions are, what are the difference between:

Yunnan Gold: Golden Yunnan : Imperial Yunnan: Tippy Yunnan

I have some thought and information but I want to know your thought
first. I am trying to make a list of Yunnan and some other Chinese
black tea. I hope that you will add all sort of Yunnan teas, so far
you have tasted. Lets do it together. Thanks.

I think, I need to modify my question. What are the best Golden
Yunnan/Yunnan gold and Tippy Yunnan/Imperial Yunnan you have tasted.
My favorites a

-Golden Yunnan: Imperial Golden Yunnan from Imperial Tea Court
-Imperial Yunnan: Golden Yunnan( Though the vendor say-Golden Yunnan)
from TesSpring

Time to time some other Yunnans are also good such as- Yunnan Gold
High grade from Silk Road, Imperial Yunnan from Upton and Black Gold
from tea trader. But those two ITC and TeaSpring is my favorite.
Thanks.

Hi Ripon,

May I suggest that you give our Yunnan Black a
try? Our Yunnan Black is produced by Yunnan Tea
Research Insitute, an organic tea producer, and
has won many awards since 1999. Both our Curly
Yunnan Black and Golden Needle Yunnan Black are
Gong Fu teas -yes, they are tightly rolled. They
have very nice fruity aroma, and the desired
golden ring after brewing. You many find pictures
of our teas at our web site at www.teahub.com .

Hi Ripon,

I have tried, and really like, the "Gold Bud Black Tea" from
http://www.pu-erhtea.com/BlackTea.htm it is very tightly rolled, the
color of tobacco, and a somewhat spicy black peppery flavor.

This vendor is located in Kunming China and ships directly from there,
their price, including shipping, was somewhere in the neighborhood of
$50 per 500g for SAL shipping (slow 20-60 days) and somewhat more for
Air Mail shipment (7-10 days). Paying them is a little difficult,
until you establish a history with them, as they will probably want to
use Western Union to transfer the funds. Once they know you they are
much more flexible.

I am not affiliated with them in any way other than as a
customer......

Mike, Ripon,

have to admit that my batting average is much better picking Keemuns than
Yunnans. I've been getting some of those "peppery" styles lately whereas I
prefer the sweet maple types.

Mike, no way to get you up North for the great event?

Dear Mike:

Their Yunnan looks so good to me. I guess, you have a history with
them- Next time if you order some, let me know. I think it will be
much more easier to handle with you. Only, if you order. Tell me more
about the taste of their "Gold bud Black Yunnan" Have you try their
Golden Bud A? Thanks.
