CYH 2011 Jincha - not the most complex but a pleasant smooth tea.

So I am finally back home after 4 intensely rewarding but also very tiring weeks on the road. Thanks again to everyone for the tips and suggestions. I spent way too much time (and money) on tea even though this wasn't a tea oriented trip but I am not complaining. Once I've had a chance to catch a br...

Imagine what your teas could taste like in Asia! :mrgreen: No need for that. Northern Italy is closer ...

sqt welcome! Might it be that it is due to the usually drier climate in Europe’s Winter that your tea feels less aromatic? Humidity is quite important for the enjoyment of tea. When I go home from Asia, my good teas all feel a little flat in the dry air... :/ Bok: I am pretty sure that is the case....
