Well, the Spring 2011 harvest is officially sold out. It will live in my memories for years to come. However, the Autumn 2011 harvest just arrived in a big crate a few hours ago. I opened one of the vacuum sealed bags apprehensively. I could feel my heart beating faster. The smell put me at ease again. I knew that the autumn harvest would live up to its legendary ancestor. I cannot wait to formally write out a tasting note, perhaps this evening or tomorrow, but I can say that this will not disappoint. It does not follow in the Spring tea’s footsteps. Instead it strikes out on its own path, decidedly autumnal, mouth-watering, and thrillingly different through each steeping.
Thank you Autumn, for bringing this tea to me. I am excited to share it with all of you…
The Autumn harvest is finally up for sale with tasting notes and a picture. Check it out here: http://verdanttea.com/shop/oolong-teas/hand-picked-autumn-2011-tieguanyin/

Hey,
I just edited this tasting note to link to the new Tieguanyin. Same farm, same family. I am absolutely loving it. You can see my full tasting note on the new product page along with a preview picture. I think that this family will continue to produce teas that make me rethink what camellia sinensis can be.
just read the tasting notes on your site….definitly has my curiousity aroused….now to return to normal and get my full senses back from the cold I’ve been fighting…nothing like a war with internal invaders to bring back your sense of smell full force…lovely newly born taste buds
Oh, I am so excited to try this!!!!
