I recently had dinner with this Taiwanese delegation, and one of the guys brought this $1000/kg special Taiwanese green tea for us to drink. I couldn't tell the difference between that and the ordinary stuff, but the Taiwanese were all quite impressed... I need to have some kind of a green tea taste party, to taste somethings side-by-side to see the difference.

my dad does business in the orient (mainly china), and his friends and business partners always send this one tea....I can't remember the name, but that shits like cocaine. I take a couple of sips and go on a bike ride for hours. Tastes like citrus and battery acid.

My current favourite is some kind of peach green tea, it's really nice and not too sweet... and goes really well with smoking herb

Never been quite the same since they got rid of the monkey adverts though.
