In the future I'll make a note of which commercial DJ are CTC and stop
guessing. Lipton makes Connoisseur which is my favorite commercial
DJ. BB has a good version but hard to find. My local tea shoppe
carries the major estates which my wife likes. My local tea shoppe
opened in it's new digs. The cafe is more prominent with expanded
menu. I bought some Snow Buds from Zheijiang. It's the first green I
thought had a creamy finish. Also recently I bought some White Monkey
King Green. The owner is starting to sell the less known Chinese teas
that are available through retail.
