Does anyone know when these will be arriving at the vendors AND does anyone have a good recommendation? I had some 2006 Yunnan Premium Jin-Si from Houde last year, which although not as flavourful as 2005, was very much to my liking and although I am aware that some greens are now making way to market, I wondered when the Spring harvest goes for Yunnan Golden.......? Thanks again, all, for your generous help! Shen
Yunnan Jin-Si Golden Tips

It means "Golden Thread". It is also an area in China that seems to get a good amount of rain; although I really don't know if that applies to this tea. This particular tea is considered the "best" of the Yunnan blacks with nearly all gold tips. Houde just posted a small amount of his web site for this Spring 07 crop.I am anxious to compare it to the previous year's crop, as I find this rich, but delicate, malty tea so enjoyable - especially since we are still getting cool mornings here in California.
