    Dear Jaq,
    a few days ago I received a package of wanghai tea from a friend coming back from his hometown in China to Germany. I had a long journey already through many different teas, green teas especially, and I must say this wanghai is surely one of the finest I have tasted.
    Thanks to you, I also got to know something about the background of the tea and how to prepare it.
    Thanks a lot! Hope to read more from you.
