.Mi Xian Black
Our Mi Xian Black tea is sourced from Ali Shan region in Taiwan. This exquisite premium grade tea utilizes the Chin Xin varietal and is pesticide free. Mi Xian Black is a relatively new style of black tea and is very rare. Similar to our Gui Fei Oolong, leafhoppers are allowed to bite the leaves in order initiate the plant’s healing process which produces a honey-like aroma. Juicy peach and honey notes mingle and linger. Some lychee and mild citrus notes can also be detected. This smooth and mellow tea is sweet with a creamy mouth-feel

True! I’ve been wondering if I’m chasing the holy grail and I should just enjoy my other stockEthan Kurland wrote: ↑Tue Jul 12, 2022 12:03 pm2 situations here, perhaps:
1. Your difficult quest to duplicate a tea exactly;
2. The passage of time.
An exact duplication is difficult, even if you had the same farmer's tea etc. because of changes season to season.
We drinkers change. A couple of years allows for a lot of differences in what we like.
Quality Laoshan black tea was great for me for a year; then other Chinese black tea (from Hunnan) for a couple of years. Now those don't come close can't please nearly as well as the black tea that I now drink which offers a lot of what the Mi Xiang described in posts above describe. Yet, a day may come when I am not thrilled by this most dynamic tea which I think is a great hongcha/oriental beauty/????....(I don't ship to France or I might try harder to find all that there is to praise
Sometimes we try hard to replace something but cannot.

Thanks for all the links, looking through them now.

Glad the Mi Xiang Hong Cha from Camellia Sinensis came close!I stay clear from that vendor... I did one and only order from him in 2016. Never againGaoShan wrote: ↑Thu Oct 13, 2022 11:50 pmWhispering Pines Tea has something called Taiwanese Wild Mountain Black, and its description has what might be a coded reference to Butiki. I haven't tried either of these teas, so this is just another lead.
. Stale and sour teas. Sorry to hear that. I haven't ordered from them due to their high shipping cost to Canada, but the teas I've received from swaps have been good to great. It's too bad that Hojo charges such high fees to ship to Canada, or I'd check out their Taiwanese hongs.Teafortea wrote: ↑Sun Oct 16, 2022 9:43 amI stay clear from that vendor...

I've been quite happy with Taiwanese tea from hojo for now so I kind of stopped searching.
Thx for your tip!
