Many thanks for the excellent review of ...Hi Cwyn,<br /><br />Many thanks for the excellent review of similar teas from different periods.<br /><br />Just a question, if you do not mind, is there any particular reason as to why you started with the youngest tea to the oldest in that order? I am just curious as, if tea is like Scotch, there is the influence on the palate from previous tasting for a while. Being a Scotch drinker besides being a Teahead when I go for tastings of multiple whiskies I always start with the oldest and smoothest ones. Had I started with a young Scotch with a lot more accentuated taste, this would hide some of more subtle accents of subsequent older whiskies.<br /><br />Kind regards.<br /><br />RuiRuihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08127634129424242047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373256628108442713.post-10664101914652552702015-04-24T18:39:06.289-05:002015-04-24T18:39:06.289-05:00+1 on being wiser.

It may be a delicate situation but letting them know so they can avoid a mistake again is good to learn. I call it "tuition" tea and I probably will still have some get me this way.john roupehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12837847817665825902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373256628108442713.post-64586633292450526522015-04-24T18:12:37.626-05:002015-04-24T18:12:37.626-05:00Most of my friends have all the tea they can drink...Most of my friends have all the tea they can drink and more. Generally they refuse to accept tea unless there is something in particular they are looking for and I happen to have it. I'm trying to convince them to accept venison jerky instead.Cwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17990034926886208526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373256628108442713.post-56615556156145856912015-04-24T02:21:52.657-05:002015-04-24T02:21:52.657-05:00Hello Cwyn,

There is no one answer and you just have to assess it case by case based on the person and your relationship with him or her.<br /><br />Sometimes words aren’t the only form of communication. On occasions (if possible) I would simply send a sample of my own tea (same age/type/brand) back to the person. The answer is in the tea. Often times the person will get back to you and initiate the discussion.<br /><br />Best, VP<br /><br />PS: The truth is painful but it can make us better and wiser and could save us from worst situations in the future,Varat Phonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00243474319433978270noreply@blogger.com
