Tai Ping Hou Kui from Anhui. New to me, and very tasty.

Tai Ping Hou Kui from Anhui. New to me, and very tasty. Pale yellow-green in a white porcelain cup. Delicate on the first sip, but powerful and mouth-filling on the midpalate and long finish. Orchid fragrance predominates. The tea is lightly sweet and mildly tannic. A very satisfying and beautiful tea.

Soooo long

An adventure in form and content. This is the way of tea we like to keep. Amanda from Formocha in Amsterdam imported this in 2008(?). Brings back fond memories. "Tai Ping Hou Kui" where have you been so long? And why are you so long? Thank you Amanda. And John of course: +++++.
