I had some this morning and it was SO GOOD. Malty, bready, biscuity, but not overpowering. I love how the dry leaf has a hint of dark chocolate to it.
This is some seriously good stuff. Once I have my cupboard under control (and hopefully, by then, currency conversion won’t suck so bad), I’d love to get more Laoshan Black in general.

i’ve started converting funds and dropping them in to my USD account anytime the dollar is higher than 70 cents when i have “extra” cash.
heh same as a canadian dollar account, at least at BMO. Suspect other FI’s are largely the same since it’s not a account in the US, it’s merely a US dollar account. I just don’t know what sort of fees there are with the accounts because i don’t pay service fees.
I have a USD savings account through RBC – it was no problem to set up – just went in and did it. I think you can even open accounts through online banking ?
@dexter – yeah i think with most FI’s you can just open the account through your current online banking when you’re signed in.

Hmmm… I don’t think I have a separate US funds account. Are they hard to set up?

With Scotia, no charges if you keep at least 200USD in the account.
Interesting. I will have to consider this.
