Just more bang for the buck, I guess. =)

As a lover of Taiwan High Mountain Oolongs, especially organically grown teas, I can't help thinking that this group has to be one of the best teas that your body can process and use. Fermentation usually creates more accessible nutrition and often easier on your stomach. Many people have a hard time with greens in their stomach. The greener oolongs from Taiwan have got qualities I've never experienced in other teas, but, I guess I'm biased. Teas grown at 2000 metres are going to be different. It would be hard to prove scientifically which teas provide the most potent levels of anti-oxidants, etc., as each person also processes input differently.

My vote would go to sencha powder or matcha since you would then actually be consuming the leaf. Of course you can always eat the leaves when you're done.

Ya know, I've been wondering about eating the leaves after I read a mention of it in a review.


Hmm, oolongs, I haven't tried any yet but will definitely get a sample in my next order, which would you recommend as I haven't a clue of which to try.

Sheng puerh, has strong chi, and you might find good quality for a lower price than japanese teas.
