Default Chinatown going upscale

What hasn't changed. Joy Luck Dong Ding TGY from China. Weak
multiple infusions versus Taiwan descendent. PouChong from Hsin Tung
Yang located in Taipei which also uses the Qing character. So far all
my commercial teas from Taiwan use this character for PouChong. If
there is a back road from here to there I'll take it. I'm on one of
those roads in my metro area I never visit. I ran across a huge new
Asian shopping complex in suburbia that includes one of my favorite
Chinatown stores. It is much bigger than the Chinatown version. It
has affluent Asian shoppers with a few laowai besides me. It was the
source of the two teas mentioned above with some other brands I
haven't seen. Here is some packaging I haven't seen. A vacuum seal
pull top cannister similar to tennis balls with a nitrogen pack
inside. If it got any fresher I could plant it. I got some Bodum
doubled walled handle free glasses for my tea blossoms. I hadn't see
that before from Bodum. Botanicals in a glass. I finally found a Ben
and Jerrys that carries Americone.
