? RE: Yin Hao

Jasmine comes in three tastes mediocre,good,great. Yin Hao #1 is on top of the food chain. Most in stores is mediocre. A good jasmine is the rarest. The differentiating factor is price. Assume all caffeine levels in tea to be a constant. The saturation is a function of time and temperature. For you PH enthusiasts Scottish breakfast is specifically blended for their soft water. I know cheap teas that taste great and expensive teas that taste bad. Bad is not a good word because it simply your personal taste. CTC teas are known for their kick simply because they infuse fast. I drink my share of robust breakfast blends. A strong cup should make you feel the hairs on your neck. I probably dilute any tea 3 to 1 because I do drink lot of tea during the morning tapering off by mid afternoon. My local tea shoppe gives you your money's worth of tea in a cup. So much so it is too strong for me and I carry out and decant the tea sock before I get to the car and using the leaves one more time after I get home. I'm not that rich.

Thank you for the feedback. Will try a better grade, and consider whether I am willing to spend enough for some of what is supposedly the best. And I will look for a local tea shop.

Oh, what is CTC? I assume it is something TeaCo, but can't figure out the C.

Thanks again,

Dave

Ahh. Thank you. I remember seeing that now. Can't believe I couldn't figure it out.
