I tried 3 Young Mountain teas and wound up preferring the other two (especially the oolong) to the one Chris likes (Nepali Golden Black). They were Nepali Silver Needles and Darjeeling Ruby Oolong. The latter I especially like. However, my absolute favorite tea is Makaibari Silver Tips (Darjeeling, variously known as a "white" or "black" tea). The Imperial version of this tea is India's most expensive. https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/559351/indias-most-expensive-tea-only-picked-under-full-moon You can get "plain" Makaibari Silver Tips (nothing plain about it, though the flavor is delicate) for a reasonable price, probably most reasonably from https://www.silvertipstea.com/ . (I think I once read that one of the owners is related to Makaibari ownership. In any case, their pricing is very good.) Wonderful tea, from an organic tea plantation that may be India's oldest. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g304557-d3705683-r208533145-Tea_Garden-Darjeeling_Darjeeling_District_West_Bengal.html The Computer Audiophile and Nikhil 2 One never knows, do one? - Fats Waller The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious.
