1884 Novel mentions Yellow Teas
In another book I am reading this passage is referenced in a book
called Against The Grain by Huysmans: http://tinyurl.com/28odbuw I looked at my lists of yellow teas and couldnt come up with anything matching si-a-fayoun, mo-you-tann, khansky. I do have kekecha yellow tea which might pair with khansky. BaiMuDan white tea might pair with mo-you-tann. I cant think of anything with si-a-fayoun. I just thought it interesting with such a early reference to yellow teas perse. I have some see through bone china cups. I would have trouble replacing them. Jim |

It might be extremely hard to track down those tea names due to multiple transliterations. But here's evidence that yellow tea was known in Russia as early as 1861: http://webcache.googleusercontent.co...an&hl=en&gl=us And, if any Western author would have found out early about something as recondite as yellow tea, it would be Huysmans, I suppose. /Lew --- Lew Perin / http://www.panix.com/~perin/babelcarp.html |

Nice link. Which made me think Russia wouldnt need to buy tea from
England when they should have had an historical overland connection with China which Ive never seen mentioned in books. Where is Sasha when you need him. He is one person I miss of the many who have come and gone.
