Chinatown going upscale

What hasn't changed. Joy Luck Dong Ding TGY from China. Weak multiple infusions versus Taiwan descendent. PouChong from Hsin Tung Yang located in Taipei which also uses the Qing character. So far all my commercial teas from Taiwan use this character for PouChong. If there is a back road from here to there I'll take it. I'm on one of those roads in my metro area I never visit. I ran across a huge new Asian shopping complex in suburbia that includes one of my favorite Chinatown stores. It is much bigger than the Chinatown version. It has affluent Asian shoppers with a few laowai besides me. It was the source of the two teas mentioned above with some other brands I haven't seen. Here is some packaging I haven't seen. A vacuum seal pull top cannister similar to tennis balls with a nitrogen pack inside. If it got any fresher I could plant it. I got some Bodum doubled walled handle free glasses for my tea blossoms. I hadn't see that before from Bodum. Botanicals in a glass. I finally found a Ben and Jerrys that carries Americone.
