The kind of tea that gives you a buzz and makes your pupils open really wide!

Since I have a 2009 douji xiang dou sample too, I immediately took it :D <br /><br />I think I am ok with this tea but will not buy it unless I get another sample to taste again later. It is bitter to some degree, but then has quite prominent sweet aftertaste. The aroma after each sip seems very nice to me.

Its name is "Lesseps", named after my kindly teachum (and CEO of the Davelcorp Foundation) who bought it for me in distant San Francisco.<br /><br />On the cups - 'tis just a rinse, you're quite right.

I myself have the 20 ml of them, but the size seems to make the taste very light, even though the aroma comes out nicely. <br /><br />Where did you get the presentation bowl?<br /><br />MartinA Student Of Teahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10049646395598215963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-60034868806967165602011-01-20T16:38:38.255+00:002011-01-20T16:38:38.255+00:00Dear Bret,

By far the nastiest tea I have ever had in my life. Tasted like burning rubber with fruit. I acused him of trying to kill me. Terje, your a kind soul but you have got to stop sending poison in the mail. But to be fair, Terje has also sent me some of the best aged tea Ive had the pleasure Brethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328523694226680438noreply@blogger.com
