Many people tell me that living in Taiwan is leaps and bounds better
than living in China, that's for sure. As for Good TGY this year, you
are going to have to wait until the Autumn pick and hope for the best.
Both spring picks this year yielded very little good tea. The highest
grade is going around 800RMB which is 300-400 shy from the best grade
last year...what basically means that this year's highest grade dropped
a whole class.

Anyway, autumn is right around the corner.
