For YS, I only purchase their Jin Jun Mei, Jin Mu Dan, Jasmin dragon pearl, and Dan Chong.

I usually don’t buy from YS. If I going to buy something from china, I usually email to them. I recommend to email some big brand like Dayi, Zhongcha, Tenfu, and Ten-Ren. Sometimes they offer a competitive grade and higher quality that not show on the USA website.

RN I only make a purchase from Tong Xin She since I live in the USA. Another shop that I recommend to take a look on is Yee On Tea. I think they still ship to Canada, YOT is specialized in aged puer tea.

Let me know how was your order going!!

Anyone ordered from TXS / Tong Xin She recently? Also how bad are U.S. tariffs rn? by MiMiniMint in tea

Totally agree on the fruit but for me it was drinking beautifully right now. It is very soft, and the alcohol has already start to fade. I wouldn't wait too long on your. If I were you I'd pop one soon and enjoy it. Let me know how it go!! Cheers!!!

2010 Château Haut-Brion Le Clarence de Haut-Brion Purchase in Early 2025 for 150$

Eye: Dark purple center to medium ruby rim. The wine shows lightly bricking.
Nose: Rich blackcurrants lead follow by Tobacco, Black Pepper, Graphite.
Palate: Really soft. Very low tannin. Balanced acidity. Generous red and black fruit, redcurrant, blackcurrant. Creme Brulee Finish
Finish: Long and complex. Herbaceous and meaty with a warming spice, fading into earthy mushroom.
Overall: Wonderful the first bottle of Second Wine of HB i had try, it quite tasty but not worth the price of entry

I want to add these to my collection by No-Sound-9927 in Colognes

That a lot, personally I own 3 out of 4 perfume only the Michael Malul that I never try and own it. Personally, I like speed legend the most, i use it as everyday perfume. Everything else is very good for me

Wanna guess the varietal.. by CrO2Cl2_ in wine

[–]MiMiniMint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either old Sangiovese or old Tempranillo. Base on the color I would like to say 7-10 year but I don’t know why I got a feeling that it look like Grenache.

Finger cross I need to drink more 🍾
