Hey all,
My first post to this NG was about a most special tea that came from a most un-special place: Avon. My sister bought me this "Feng Shui Tea Set" for a present (one of the only photo's online of it: http://avon.youravon.com/shared/mana...esstable1.html) My original post had only a few takers, so now that some of you know me a bit better I figured I'd try again. The tea came in a nondescript foil pouch that has no distinguishing characteristics beyond being shiny and foil-like. In black text it proclaims "Black and White Tea" It is a blend of about 90% black tea and 10% white. The tea is just about one of the best teas I have ever drank (honestly) and actually high quality. I can't for the life of me re-create the tea blend. I also cannot get any info from Avon as they stopped selling this a decent while ago and even speaking to the buyer turned up nothing. I have a small amount left. I would be willing to send off half of what is left for someone to try to analyze. When I get home I will take a high-res photo and post it for visual inspection. It figures of all the tea in China, I am stuck on this... a tea I cannot buy even with all the money in the world. It has a delightfully sweet characteristic to it and the black tea is not overpowering. I have ruled out Keemun I believe as a possibility. I'm not a black tea person so there are many I am ignorant of or have never tasted to compare against. Thanks to any and all responses, - Dominic Drinking: Lipton Green Label DJ |
