As tea buyer, I usually taste over hundreds of lots of each tea. I am here for the Tieguanyin, but also must procure Yellow Gold, approve various other customs teas, and evaluate new stuff, like Gold Guanyin made in the manner of Big Red Robe/ Da Hongpao. Except it was far superior, believe it or not. Not having a name yet, this was another one of Mr. Lin’s inventions. I told him let’s name it Golden Robe. It will be our latest greatest favorite this year that I will be proud to introduce,not only because of its quality, but because odd Mr. Lin, whom I have known for almost 10 years but have never tried his tea, turned out to be a prolific tea maker. He improved the Gold Guanyin by leaps and bounds. Then I found out he was actually a physician. Good thing. I’ve been sick as hell this whole trip such as never before.
