Dominic, I guess one mans distaste can be my cravings... I love those flowery oolongs, even tho I do not like jasmines or the other teas that have flowers in them. Nigel, How often do you find oolongs spiked with real flowers and not natural of the tea process? Are Taiwanese oolongs spiked? As usual your knowledge is very informative and useful for me.. Thanks Jenn

My Assam fannings taught me that a second steeping of black tea might be very good. You steep the first mug according to directions, then let the second one steep till it's lukewarm or ready to drink. I tried that with my Java tea, and got a second cup quite weak, but potable.

One should keep in mind that the interests of the Israel lobby in ...
