Default Stock up on MaoFeng and LongJing

Youll never have to buy MaoFeng or LongJing again if you can find
these in your store and stock up.

I couldnt find them on the Web. They are that good and cheap. $5 for
each 100g resealable package. HangZhou TianTang produces the two
Dragonwells. ZheJiang ChuNan produces the MaoFeng. The only thing
that changes on the packaging is the name. For the curious the Baby
Leaves are thinner and longer. All three produce succulent first cups
but fade quickly with second. At that price Ill brew a new cup each
time. The packaging size does vary due to leaf size. If you dont
know how to make tea put some in a saucer and enjoy the aroma. The
lingering infused taste will stay with you for hours. Ive always
found with Chinese teas if you get glitzy packaging you usually get
something special inside. Notice the picture that shows the leaves in
a glass which is the way it is meant to be drank. These are my
reference teas for these types.

PS The two characters for Baby Leaves are YinZhen.
