		<description><![CDATA[Festivities for the Year of the Dragon (falling on Jan. 23, 2012) are under way. This time of year presents certain challenges for finding some teas.  What seemed like bravely given orders  for Jasmine teas placed in late summer turned out to be a good hunch, but still falling short in some areas.  Stock needs to be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To extend the alliteration, June and July mean Jasmine (teas) for those are the months when the blooms appear.  What I expected would be a routine sampling left me with the realization of how much I had yet to learn about the scenting process.  Acquiring more information would be difficult from a distance, especially since [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have often referred to blind tastings, concealing the identity or source of teas so as not to be swayed by  assumptions formed prematurely from appearance or prices. Here is an instance where the ruse, if only for my own benefit, proved useful. I generally ask that the dry teas be covered when I expect [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For me the greatest benefit of visiting tea gardens and factories has always been seeing everyday life in the villages and enjoying meals prepared with vegetables just taken from family plots nearby.  The home-cooked dishes we shared in China&#8217;s countryside, in particular, have been more memorable than elaborate and far costlier meals in banquet rooms [...]]]></description>

Except for restaurant grade and some standards, our Jasmine inventory is at its lowest during June and July as we await the arrival of freshly made Jasmine, which makes its appearance only in July.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At the end of the previous post (Part 2), I concluded that for almost $50/lb, one could have a really top grade Jasmine leaf tea instead of the $48.95/lb Jasmine Pearls tea that turned out to be a poor choice, value-wise and flavor-wise.  If it is Jasmine Pearls you&#8217;re after, seek out a better quality [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In Part 1 I suggested a simple formula to calculate tea prices by the pound, if pricing is not presented by that unit, so that there is one standard for comparison shopping.  In that previous post I listed prices I found for Special Grade Gunpowder Green. As I mentioned in the introduction, for the most [...]]]></description>
