Too bad that Tony is closing shop!
Indeed :(. Very sad news. I’d highly recommend on stocking up .
Some of the teas are going to be very difficult to find once he’s gone. Gonna be hard to beat his prices on high-mountain tea + pots as well.
Supposedly the Tie Luo Han is another grade or two higher than this tea. Yum…
Drink fewer lattes and espressos and more Shuixian Kings 🙂
Can’t disagree with that! :).
Cheers!

James, I’m a big fan of yancha, and just saw this episode. In the years that have passed, have you found anything similar to the 2003 shui xian that was so amazing?
Unfortunately not really. Cindy of Wuyi Origin had a premium Rougui recently that was one of the more outstanding Yanchas I’ve had in the last few years, but I think it sold out so fast that we didn’t even bother doing an episode (would’ve been sold out first).
