Bio
My profile pic is of a pink dahlia at Golden Gate Park.
Hobbies include: tea, making art, animals, vegan things, buddhism, nature, creativity, books, writing, cooking, meditation, yoga.
I am a fan of many different teas but my favorites are blacks and oolongs, chai, also like darjeeling and pu-erh. I’n always learning and expanding my horizons!
Dislikes include: bergamot, jasmine, highly tannic or bitter teas, overly judgmental and bitter people. :)
Live in San Francisco, I’m a SINK (single income, no kids) and love the urban life, but traveling out to the middle of nowhere is always fun too.
I tend to not drink things I know I will hate so a lot of my tea ratings are on the higher side. Here’s my rating system, sorta
95-100 I love this tea and would like to keep it around
94-90 An excellent tea which I may or may not repurchase
89-80 Pretty good, above average
79-70 Acceptable
69-60 Mundane – Will probably drink it if I have it
59-50 Ick
49 and below Nasty

I definitely like this one, but it is kind of similar to Queen Catherine. The Queen wins. ;)
I’ve had Queen Catherine a few times but it is not one of my favorites. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. :)
Is Congou another name for Keemun? Or are they different types of tea?
Scott – I don’t think they are the same but I’m no expert on chinese tea by far…
I think Congou means the same as Gongfu, masterfully made.
Scott-they are diffrerent teas with different qualities.
Amy-I like this tea too. I have the Panyang Congou Selecy from Upton-very goo, but I can’t find it! :-// ‘Too much tea on my hands….too much tea on my ……………………….’
