Spring Spear Tips?
Hello All,
I just subscribed to this group after lurking off and on for years. About 10 years ago Silk Road Tea, Republic of Tea (who got it from Silk Road), and Harney's carried a remarkable green tea called Spring Spear Tips. It consisted of enormous downy buds--more than 1.5-inch long and nearly as thick as a pencil, at least in my memory--yielding a sweet, full-bodied, almond-scented liquor and cabaple of a 10-minute steep without bitterness. I've asked David Lee Hoffman of Silk Road about it once or twice. He gets a little whistful and says he hasn't encountered any lately. Does anyone else remember this tea? Does anyone know what's happened to it? Bill
