I don't care for border tea, but it is a pretty good value. Anyone had aged border tea? If this stuff ages well I'll invest, but all young border tea that I've had just kind of tastes brutal.shogun89 wrote:heres a good looking deal.

A good deal of bitterness, especially in the first few infusions. Gongfu brew started with a rinse of 5 seconds. Following brews: seconds, 10, 15, 25, 35, 45, 60
I found it grassy with some earthiness and mineral notes. No melon or anything else you'd like to find. I'm hoping that changes. More pics on my forum http://www.beanleafgrape.com/forum
