Reply #9: White tea, and Spring tea, and Russian Caravan, and good Green Tea

[Rabrrrrrr]

The White Tea and Spring Tea version I like are the ones straight from Taiwan, available through the Ten Ren tea company in the US (the best of the tea importing companies, IMO). Both these teas are in the $100+ a pound range, but well worth it.

Fucking awesome tea, especially mixed together.

The Russian Caravan - a nice, meaty, smoky, salmony Russian tea - is the version that comes from TeaLuxe. TeaLuxe, in fact, actually carries a couple Russian teas, and they're all good. VERY different from the Japanese and Taiwanese teas.

(and I'm a green tea purist - none of those awful bagged green teas; fresh leaf only)
