		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always considered it a fascinating (if only to tea enthusiasts) bit of tea trivia that a tea that goes by one name, Pi Lo Chun, can show up in two entirely forms:  the standard, original one from Jiangsu, China has the downy, spiral-shaped leaves that give the tea its name.  &#8220;Lo&#8221; means snail, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Samples of spring teas arriving early to mid-April mean that they were finished at the end of March, with plucking begun a couple of weeks before that. Such early season plucking means wonderful raw material: unopened buds and budsets just starting to sprout. Prices tend to run high for these teas and the window for [...]]]></description>

At the virtual opposite end of this province&#8217;s addictive, numbing dishes is another of the region&#8217;s products, bamboo.  Giving inspiration to poets and artists, bamboo as a comestible is mild, even bland tasting, and evokes lush images of cool, green vistas, viz. the Bamboo Forest [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a follow-up on an earlier post about names of Chinese teas. I remember drinking a Green tea at a friend&#8217;s house recently.  Knowing of my interest, my friend brought out a tea that had been a gift, and the sealed foil pouch inside had not been opened yet.  The outside of the box [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s slim pickings during winter in general where teas are concerned, so it was lovely to receive a winter harvested Pi Lo Chun Green from Taiwan.  As noted elsewhere, this is a very different looking tea from the famed Pi Lo Chun from Jiangsu province, close enough to Shanghai so that this favorite is readily [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As 2011 draws to a close, we see the last of some teas as well.  Inquiring about Gunpowder Green teas, for example, I learned this week that prices are &#8220;going crazy,&#8221; at least for the better quality, tightly rolled grades.  This particular tea is finished each July, meaning that stocks are dwindling and prices unstable.  As [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have often used terms such as &#8220;downy&#8221; and &#8220;fine white hairs&#8221; in reference to tippy teas.  With the earliest pluckings from spring, we have a wonderful opportunity to see just what these terms refer to. This soft, feathery effect is most evident in early spring teas: Curiously, in Black teas, downy tips show up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tasting notes help me remember which teas to re-consider and to re-taste.  Samples at this time of year (late spring) from suppliers, old and potential new ones, are numerous, and since they are largely all Green teas, sometimes they become a blur of greens.  Tasting is never a chore, and as I look over the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I began drafting this, Daylight Savings time had begun a week earlier (March 13th).  That was about the time one tea supplier sent off the first samples of the season. Not surprisingly, these teas are tippy:  plucked before the buds had opened or opened fully.  What all the samples shared is a silvery luster.  The dry [...]]]></description>
