More mislabelled lotus tea
Okay, I have a package of lotus tea. It's marked in big letters
on the front "DAN TRA HOA SEN" which does mean Hoa Sen brand lotus tea, and it has a picture of a lotus on the front. It also has some analytical info on the bottom that I cannot read: Chi tieu chat luong TCNV 1455-93 Ham luong chat tan >= 34% Ham luong tanin >= 20% Do am <= 7.5% According to the package, it's sold by www.hoasentea.com in tran phu. BUT, the interesting part comes with the English ingredients again: INGREDIENTS: Green tea, Jasmine Flavor, Gandy, Natural again, Natural Herb flavor. Does anyone have any explanation for all of these different lotus teas being sold as "Jasmine" in the US? --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

I remember when I was in one Chinatown or another, it was sort of that type of story all over the place. It is one reason as to why I am wary of buying stuff abroad. |

Vietnamese tea from my experience can be marked almost anything. I have yet
to taste one that would be worth detailed investigation. I like very much Chinese Lotus tea with actual lotus flowers but couple of Vietnamese ones I bought were to perfumy for me. Sasha.

Che Xanh and Thai Nguyen are green teas that can be very good. I also once had a very good black/red tea that I think is called Stone Mountain. /Lew --- Lew Perin / http://www.panix.com/~perin/babelcarp.html |

I liked it a lot when I drank it a couple of years ago, but it's called Marble Mountain. /Lew --- Lew Perin / http://www.panix.com/~perin/babelcarp.html |
