Introduction

Hello, It looks like a day for new people so I thought I would introduce myself. I have been lurking for a few months now. I got started on teas through another news group and was very happy to find this one. I have become very fond of Keenums and Lapsong suchon. Most recently I have been drinking Upton's Keenum Mao Feng and Imperial Lapsong. I am looking forward to comparing their Lapsong to Mark T. Wendell's Hu-Kwa.

Also can someone recommend a Keenum that is similar to the Upton's Mao Feng but more intense? By that I mean more of the honey/chocolate flavors.

Thanks in advance. I really enjoy reading this group.

Mike

Hey Mike, I don't have an answer to your question, except to say that I always apply the consumer's rule of thumb with Upton's, which is that if it's expensive, it must be good. :-) Glad to have you over here with the civilized people. :-)

Now that you mention it I did have an experience like that. I tried some Upton's Shou Mei white and preferred it over the more expensive Yin Zhen Bai Hao.

I would change that slightly and say, "If it's expensive, it must be RARE." And rare teas are often good ones, but each person's palate is different.
