I actually want to weigh one of them to see what one actually weighs. I am not sure if they are rolled like Dragon Pearl or compressed like a mini, mini tou cha.
I want to try these,
but also want to sort of get away from Yunnan teas.
Nothing against them, just my last 8 kinds of tea bought were all Yunnan teas.
They were all good, but it is just there are sooo many tea regions out there.
But Yunnan does seem to have some cool looking shaped teas like these weird stick/spiral green tea things
and snow dragon...but that might not be yunnan only...
