Perhaps it was my brewing method, but I've tasted smoother, maltier and more chocolatey Qimen Hong before without that harsh throat after effect.<br /><br />I wanted to get some Qimen Hong from Kam, but it was quickly sold out before I knew he had~ Phyllhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06089209028096768776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27252543.post-50954459487413459332006-12-14T22:12:00.000-08:002006-12-14T22:12:00.000-08:00Qi Men is the only red tea that I've really spent ...Qi Men is the only red tea that I've really spent time drinking, I was so taken with it at the time I devoted a 120ml yixing to it. I've only had four different lots over the past 18 months and I have to say I was dissapointed in the (25g sample) pack from jings. <br /><br />I may have been expecting too much but even after a side to side comparison with the qi men from kam at funallinace it did Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27252543.post-76910294089148603422006-12-12T12:31:00.000-08:002006-12-12T12:31:00.000-08:00Thanks, Corax.
