Does anyone know what they coat the lid with to support their claim that it light doesn't injure the tea?<BR/><BR/>-MattAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883727182436142525.post-51189147866935985842007-08-23T12:27:00.000-06:002007-08-23T12:27:00.000-06:00Good question, Jen.

But to be expected from them, honestly. <BR/><BR/>I have two rou gui (unless there's another hiding in the cupboard, which is entirely possible - I'll check tonight before I start the tasting). One is from Teacuppa (I don't remember what year), and the other is from Stash Tea, a large vender that I know most serious tea drinkers avoid, but a company I have surprisingly good experiences with on a consistant basis, both for bagged and lose tea. So we shall see...it's been awhile since I've tasted either of these, so my palate is "clean" so to speak. :-)Jamie D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05486427517423813962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883727182436142525.post-85422897550997178502007-08-23T11:09:00.000-06:002007-08-23T11:09:00.000-06:00I wonder which wuyi oolong tea breed that was..I a...I wonder which wuyi oolong tea breed that was..I am looking forward for your showdown on rou gui oolong tea.
