Depending on how you spell BenShan Anodyne said what I did in 96. I
didn't come up to speed on Taiwan teas till the Good Young brand
appeared in the stores. The only other brand from Twinings disappeared
years ago. If I even suspected there was a mainland tea that compared
to Taiwan in any kind of taste I would have been on that one sooner.
Okay BenShan has been flushed out, are there any others? This is the
kind of tea when you're done with the leaves you toss them on a salad.
My not so new rediscovery of the year sofar.
