Another Tai Ping Hou Kui, thank you to Angel & Teavivre.
I had initially planned to compare this one to the Premium version, but that didn’t happen. I’ve been so busy lately, really too busy to think about writing tea reviews. For a few weeks I was digging up sweet potatoes (7 different varieties, all curing in various locations, mostly my sunroom), and planting garlics, shallots, and multiplier onions, and other fall stuff.
Now my primary activity is practicing several hours a day, in preparation for several concerts I have coming up, pretty much a different concert every week with a different local orchestra. Last sunday it was Resphigi’s ancient Airs & dances II. This coming sunday it’s The Planets by Holst and the Star Wars Movie soundtrack! Next weekend it’s Pictures at an Exhibition (which I’m playing again with a different group in Dec). Then I have 5 pieces for a concert with the St. Louis Wind Orchestra, followed a week later by 3 performances of the Nutcracker complete with ballet! Then another orchestra concert in Dec, with The Blue Danube Waltz! Then a bunch of xmas gigs!
So I deserve a break with this beautiful green tea! I can’t really give a comparison to the other one… visually, the leaves of this version are more delicate, but they both share the beautiful long leaved presentation that makes this tea have such a wonderful visual appeal.
Tastewise, if it is possible, this one is even sweeter, smoother, and more creamy/buttery. There is a thick sensation, and tastes of pumpkin seed, honeydew melon, kelp, & mineral.

That is a lot of concerts! Is there any harp in the Star Wars soundtrack? Neat!
There is tons of harp in the star wars soundtrack! And I only just got the music yesterday, so it will be another crazy late night practicing :)
How cool. I’ll try and listen for the harp the next time I listen to that music (I’m bad at picking out instruments, I just sorta get swept away….)
Your music is beautiful ( I have your Christmas album). I’m not surprised you are in such demand at this time of year. HOpe you find plenty of time to relax and take tea breaks.
Thanks Uba!!
I think somebody (who knows who?) said, “I’ll rest when I die”, LOL or something like that! Actually, I’ll be consistently working my @$$ off until the day after Xmas, and then I’ll take a much needed couple of weeks break! After that it usually slows down for a month or so (but not always). I do usually take Mondays off from practicing, and actually I didn’t practice yesterday at all. But I did spend a large part of the day, in between students, listening to youtube versions of the Star Wars stuff, making notations on the music, and basically practicing in my head, if that makes sense! :)
