Honestly, it's been a few years, so I can't recall precisely what I ordered. What I meant to suggest by middle-grade what that I wasn't impressed with the tea either way. I drank it, and promptly forgot it.gingko wrote:I have no experience with this store. But about your comment 1, the tea is middle-grade - do you mean the tea is labeled as 'middle grade"?
For me, what really stood out about the order was the jasmine buds. They were plainly very old, and probably shouldn't have been sold.
I definitely agree that green display teas are not for drinking.
