mmm this one is tasty but it’s my least favourite of the 4. It’s smooth, there are cocoa-y notes in the background and it’s an enjoyable cup…but it’s not as LB as i want it to be.

So YS Classic wins the LB battle? I understand that you really like some of the others but they don’t seem like LB to you. So when buying in volume as the LB to keep in your cupboard would you choose YS classic? Verdant? or something else? I’m just curious…..

Haha so it’s kinda weird…..depending on the harvest, yes it’d probably be YS most instances because of the cost. Ie. in a good harvest year, even if it’s not perfect or if I might really love the taste of one of the others….I can’t justify the cost of picking up the other teas in such a large quantity. Classic 2016 was more LB than classic 2017. This year if they were all the same price I’d probably go with jiri horse. Last year, would have been YS. Not sure about verdant this year as I wasn’t able to pick any up.

Dexter

Awesome thank you

Sil

Largely related to value since in some cases this is like an every day always drinking tea…so I don’t want it to be super expensive

So no real clue what to write about myself here. A friend got me into drinking loose tea and it’s something I thoroughly enjoy though I have nowhere near the experience that many folks on the boards seem to have.

My other interests are cycling, reading, board games, disney cruises, world of warcraft and dancing – in no particular order. I love travelling as well!

Most of that is on hold these days though, including tea drinking like I used to as I have a new little one who eats up all my spare time.
