Still one of my top favorites, and I am so happy I can taste it while sick. I don’t know if my mucus is doing this, but I’m getting a little bit more coconut in the savory body. The lovely confused yellow fruitiness between apples, pineapples, and “Asian Pears” remains.

Hope you get feeling better.
yeah man, hope youre better soon!. I just went to check this out on the website, noticed only one left in stock. Had to try it. – very reasonably priced, good shipping ($6 to uk!)
Its the summer crop so probably not as floral as the winter, but with winter coming up I figured I can try both.
Any others good from them for a bigger winter purchase?
Daylon, have you subscribed to the Eco-Cha tea of the month club? And if so, what is your take on it?
Thank you!
Rasseru: um, the winter crop is pretty good and I prefer it ever so slightly. The Spring crop which is what I have is way too savory for me in the first few months, but it felt more balanced as time went on. The two crops were only different by a hint, and personally, I would get the summer crop if it were available because all I want is the basic floral-fruity profile. Their four seasons was surprisingly good and mega apple fruity. Their Jin Xuan which was a Spring Crop had plenty of the sugar cane grassiness/tropical coconut and pineapple vegetal thing going. I’ve always wanted to try their LiShan and AliShan to see how they compare, and I’ve especially wanted to try their AliShan and Wu Yi black. However, the AliShan black is only in a premium package and the other tea is a part of their club. Andrew has also tried this Shan Lin Xi and basically said its a solid standard with quality leaf.
Evol, I’ve always wanted to be in the club, but never have because of budget reasons. One good thing is that you will get plenty of tea even if you do a small package, and if you are in the club alone, you will be getting a unique tea each month. Alexsia Amanda Wilson (Necromancer is a part of her steepster name) is a club member and writes incredibly florid descriptions for each tea. Every other person I know that has tried a club tea has loved it.
Thank you, Daylon. Most useful. What small package?
Ive just got my pack (was the last in stock so I had to jump) & its quite sweet vegetal compared to your notes of fruit & coconut, & not very pear-y. Still very nice but not stellar (just imo being very into fruity tea), still $20 inc shipping for a decent bit of very good clean sweet tea.
The nicest part was to get to know eco-cha, they seem like a really nice company, decent pricing, organic & have sold out all their stock almost, so good for them. I am looking forward to the winter crops.
Also, 6 days shipping to the UK? Other companies take note – I will be buying from them again & this is a factor
Evol-I meant if you get a smaller package from Eco-Cha if you buy from them.
Also, Rasseru: have you ever had this kind of pear?

Thanks for clarifying, Daylon. I hope your cold has subsided.
I actually have but I cant remember what they exactly taste like, they arent the usual UK pear
or maybe I havent, I actually cant remember!
I have four of these apple-pears sitting here. I need to get on it.
lol
