It's quite enjoyable, I found especially the butteriness to be rather uncommon in yancha and it was quite welcome. However, it felt a bit too green to me, later brews were a bit strange. <br /><br />I ordered samples of a couple of yanchas from EoT so I'm looking forward to these too.

In answer to your question, I've not come across any resellers of their tea, but then resellers don't tend to say from which wholesaler their products were bought.<br /><br /><br />Toodlepip,<br /><br />HobbesHobbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10719619695211038389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-35825204129689595832012-03-28T22:42:25.634+01:002012-03-28T22:42:25.634+01:00Hi Hobbes,

I also think Vicony has a very good selection of yan cha. I really like their Rou Gui, both their 2011 and 2006. The 2011 tastes better, I think, but the 2006 has an impressive qi-- a qi I would expect in a well stored early 90's yan cha, maybe, but not in a 2006. <br /><br />BenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-52453571291592969612012-03-20T17:27:46.971+00:002012-03-20T17:27:46.971+00:00Very tasty there are too, although this was the be...Very tasty there are too, although this was the better of the two.Hobbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10719619695211038389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-86486233690821384042012-03-20T16:14:07.609+00:002012-03-20T16:14:07.609+00:00I got some offer from Vicony too, it wasn't ba...I got some offer from Vicony too, it wasn't bad, and the two samples I got were somewhere in the vicinity of mid 200/kg, which, while not cheap, is not unreasonably expensive (1 kilo is a lot of tea, after all).
