Hello,
I am enjoying my dive into the deep end of the pool with loose leaf teas, including black (red actually) and Oolongs, from mostly China.
But, I am also drawn to Oolongs - the bridge between Black and Green teas (from my previous life years ago, drinking them with a woman from China while having Dim Sum).
Henrietta, the Rare Tea lady, has a lovely personality, and she drew me in to sample hand crafted Chinese Keemun, Lost Malawi - and I threw in an Earl Grey.
I also could not resist Chinese Tieguanyin with a name like 'Iron Goddess' Oolong, and Da Hong Pao Oolong, aka 'Big Red Robe.'
Henrietta's breathless presentation of making Oolong with a Gaiwan nailed it:
I also bought Tie Guan Yin 'Iron Goddess,' 'Mi Lan Xiang' Honey Flower Dan Cong, Bai Lin Gong Fu 'Golden Monkey' Black, and Qimen aka Keemun Black teas from Yunnan Sourcing.
Do you have preferred vendors for loose leaf tea?
