Hi~ my name is Gina. Have you ever tried "Citron tea"? this is called in Korea "yuja cha".(cha means tea) (I live in Korea ^^ ) This tea is my favorite. Citron has three times more 'vitamin C 'than lemon. So, Citron tea has effect on a cold and the aftereffects of the night drink. You can make it to mix honey(or suagr) and sliced citron in the ratio 1:1. And put it in the jar or bottle and seal up for 15days in the refrigerator.(but, first one day in the normal temperature)
My favorite tea

Gina, did you know that mice and other rodents synthesize vitamin C, and so do not need to take it from external sources? So, for us, while your plug is interesting, it is not really necessary. (I speak only for myself, of course; this kind of wise-ass comment does *not* typify our group.
Hope this helps. Michael
Funny how including rats as a vitamin C source never really took off in British Navy. Could have eliminated scurvy and improved protein intake together with one sweep.

I *think* the vendor goofed on transliterating the name, which probably should be *Yu* Lan Xiang, i.e. Magnolia Fragrance. The unforgettable scent of magnolia is one of the things that first attracted me to (some) Phoenixes. Does this one do that?

Lew, let me add that although you are undoubtedly right about the vendor's faux pas, when buying the tea from this vendor, at least for the time being, it might be best to order it by the name originally, albeit incorrectly, given -- Ye Lan Xiang.

[Michael] I will add here that the Private Reserve Mi Lan Xiang from the same vendor, Silk Road Teas, has a far more pronounced "Magnolia Fragrance," the more expected one. Important also to say that this Phoenix Bird Oolong is darker, and more red at the leaf margins, leading me again to think that the magnolia quality is brought forward, at least in part, by higher oxidation and/or higher roasting. Would somebody brighter than I please speak on this.
I'm on to a Guo Jiang Xiang Phoenix from my newly acquired SRT stock this morning. The tea is greenish in a soft and fresh cereal kind of way, with fruit -- am I talking about "magnolia" here perhaps? -- coming out more in later steeps. Again, it does well with gungfu flash steeps, but tolerates more time quite nicely without harshening. It gets better with each passing steep, and ought to go through at least 15.
Fenghuang teas are easier to get to know than Wuyi teas in my humble opinion, which probably tells a lot more about me than about the teas.
Lew, please get in there and continue to correct the spellings of Chinese words. (Is "transliterate" quite the right word to describe transitioning from Chinese characters to English letters? Who knows, who cares.)
