Default RFDT (was Nano technology in teas)

One cool thing I saw on Sanzui today, and this is the beauty of forums
with photos, a guy investigated the differences between Yongchun
Foshou and Anxi Tieguanyin. Yongchun is only about an hour drive at
most away from Anxi's Tea Capital - over narrow, winding mountain
roads - from what I can remember anyway.
He compared a fresh leaf of Foshou to that of TGY. The Foshou leaf was
much larger and fatter than the Tieguanyin. In another photo, he
showed a Foshou tea leaf larger than the size of the hand.

1 fresh TGY leaf: delightful; 1 super size Foshou leaf photo:
priceless.
