This thing is no longer quiet, but just overloaded with camphor, with very sweet huigan, and interesting aftertastes. Primary flavor is still that oxidised honey, but I'm finding this *much* tastier than many other teas I Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-22534000237194282132010-06-14T04:56:57.703+01:002010-06-14T04:56:57.703+01:00Dear Shah,

Sadly, the maturing process isn't a panacea: garbage in, garbage out.<br /><br /><br />Dear Drumhum,<br /><br />I like your spirit! However, I try to limit my caffeine intake to just one session per day, and so every tea is Hobbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10719619695211038389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-45736162542070332872010-06-13T22:16:44.435+01:002010-06-13T22:16:44.435+01:00And, to top it off with a problem you've compl...And, to top it off with a problem you've complained of in the past, Hou De assigned this tea's name to their trusted employee Miss Pell for transliteration.

I find the best thing to do... is to drink them!<br /><br />There are those times when you want a mug of tea, to quench a thirst; when (dare I say it) even a bag of PG tips seems like the answer. You are perhaps in the middle of some job like gardening or washing the car, you need a big swig of something and the ponderous drumhumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17558608533551558844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-29323471657789629632010-06-13T09:29:36.143+01:002010-06-13T09:29:36.143+01:00Heck, small versions of that rush still happens. ...Heck, small versions of that rush still happens. The XZH red tin stuff lasted only days. Both of them were worth the scrambling for, especially the gift set. Then there was that old Shin Ya and Big Snow Mountain maocha that lasted a mere 48 hours. Nowadays, I watch Houde just so I can see the rush whenever a desired item goes on sale. Like watching bluegills peck the heck out of the bread Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
