Are we talking about the same tea here!?

I can only assume the current offering from Rishi “ANCIENT Golden Yunnan” is not the same Yunnan that is being reviewed here. Either that or this is simply a lesser grade.

Even at different steep times, this tea is weak and uncomplicated. The malty, cocoa character is noticeably muted. Surprising astringency for a Yunnan. Very little of the signature Yunnan profile.

With the reviews here and at $20-$25 cheaper PER POUND than others, I had to see what the buzz was about.

I found out you get what you paid for.

The bias towards Rishi teas is pretty obvious here so I don’t expect my review will be posted but FWIW both Adagio and Replubic of Tea have far better offerings.
