Did they tell you specifically that it was a *Yunnan* tea? The Chado Zhen Qu

is stated on their website to be a "Panyang" tea, which from my observation is old Euro/Brit teaspeak for Fujian province, not Yunnan. (Upton also uses variations on that term a lot - they've also told me specifically that it means Fujian.)


So, did you have *both* the Zhen Qu and the Sechrna Keemun? I think those are two of their best teas.
