Hello, all, You all know what a novice I am - but, I am learning. Today, we stopped at Imperial Tea Court in Berkeley and tried Putuo Organic Green and Imperial Green. The sales person was very young and knew as much as I; so, of course, I didn't get a whole lot of information. Imperial Tea Court has a tendancy to "rename" romantically and obscurely, its teas and I have no idea what Imperial Green is, other than $26.60 an ounce and absolutely crisp and tender and grassy, sweet and delightfully smooth with hardly any astringency in last bits. The organic Putuo (I have read a bit about these teas from this region ((mountain area)) in China) was very fresh and had the sweet aroma of dew on morning grass. My husband had a honey-tasting black keemun - Imperial Keemun Hao Ya, whose golden colour betrayed its woodsiness. Can anyone fill me in a little and educate me as to what 2006 Imperial Green is? BTW, it's visually gorgeous - bright green, long tendrils of uncumbled tea........... Thanks so much! Shen
