Over twenty five years ago a Chinese history professor of mine gave me a
sample of
unlabeled tea of unknown origin. I have been trying to find the tea again
and at last
the Tea Gods heard my plight and delivered. The tea was Formosa Baozhong. It
arrived
today from Generation Teas (good Tea, hate the name). Maybe not the exact
tea, different
year, different field, global warming, close enough I won't complain.

I must have tried forty or fifty different teas over the years mostly from
the occasional Chinese market I
would shop in as well as from Ten Ren and Upton and pester this forum too
but it was persistence
and dumb luck. On the way I added a few teas to my "A" list. Tieguanyin Gold
Oolong also from
Generation Teas as well as Silver Tips Imperial from Upton.

P.S.

Information from this group helped a great deal in discovering the teas I
have now.
What do you do for an encore? Any favorites of yours to try?
