3g of this left, so I mixed it with 3g of the Li Shan Black.

Delicious.

I do prefer the Li Shan Black, I just feel the flavours are more in line with my personal tastes. It’s rich and dark the way I’ve steeped it though, with no bitterness and only a touch of the good kind of astringency. :)

I’m updating my tea spreadsheet tonight. OMG. So many teas to add to it. D: Hopefully there will be a lot of teas to remove from it at some point as well…

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 6 g 5 OZ / 140 ML

how does it compare to the DT honey black?

OMGsrsly

I still haven’t tried it! UGH. On my list for tomorrow. I have 2 things I need to get – a new card for my camera, and THAT TEA!

OMGsrsly

Honestly for the Green Terrace Teas, the Li Shan is way more rich and thick and sweet than the honey black. IMO. :)

Indigobloom

Wow where did this Green Terrace come from! I haven’t been paying attention, apparently. Looks like they have some good stuff

OMGsrsly

Yeah, there were samples available a WHILE back. And VariaTEA dropped off a couple packets when I was in Toronto. I kinda yoinked them. :D I would totally buy the Li Shan Black, but I couldn’t justify it. And now, after inventorying, I can’t justify it even more…

Ah. Yes. I was kinda absent from tea world for awhile last year. Makes sense now!
Same here. Esp with the tea festival coming up. Eeeeek
