Last year ones large yearly shipment of Korean tea was expected to arrive in August so one deliberately decided to go with mainly Ssangkye green teas knowing that most would be consumed in the Fall, Winter and Spring.<br /><br />In fact, just opened and finished a box of Jongno this month, it felt just as fresh as the box opened early Fall. See here:<br /><br />http://mattchasblog.blogspot.ca/2011/11/2011-ssang-kye-jungjak-semi-wild-hadong.html<br /><br />Haven't tried the Roasting Sejak or Black Sejak- am sure they taste great.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your thoughts on these teas.<br /><br />PeaceMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02736984697520031171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693176331381554957.post-40313928451383269022012-04-02T08:35:59.856-07:002012-04-02T08:35:59.856-07:00Matt,

The Jungno is brilliant, expensive but worth the money for the ocassional self indulgence. Black Sejak is also very nice, nothing in common with what westerners think of as black tea. The Roasting Sejak I havn't tried yet but I'm sure it's going to be equally superb. Whats suprising is that all of these teas taste and smell fresh as the day they were made, and seeing as they are at a discounted price right now I,ll be ordering more, especially the Jungno. <br /><br />BretBrethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328523694226680438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693176331381554957.post-1877348268305387512012-03-30T14:29:42.946-07:002012-03-30T14:29:42.946-07:00Bret,

Feel free to leave your thoughts or comments on any other Korean teas you may have acquired from Good Green Tea on the corresponding posts here on MattCha's. As always, it is nice to here your impressions of these teas.<br /><br />PeaceMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02736984697520031171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693176331381554957.post-29579782558094940682012-03-30T12:32:33.729-07:002012-03-30T12:32:33.729-07:00Matt,

The range of flavors and aromas to be had are impressive. And whats equally impressive is how the flavors stay fairly consistent with each additional steeping, the more subtle flavors never really dissappear, they go the distance. That is something you don't find very often, even in high quality teas. Money well spent!<br /><br />BretBrethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328523694226680438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693176331381554957.post-33491386162277313702012-03-29T09:49:54.745-07:002012-03-29T09:49:54.745-07:00Matt,

Thank you for the wonderful review.

When you visit Korean, I can arrange for you to meet with Mr Hong. :-)<br /><br />Tea Fanatic,<br /><br />Sorry to hear that you couldn't place an order before they sold out.<br /><br />I will have some extra Hwang Cha(320g) in few weeks. Please send me an email if you want to try some.<br /><br />SamGoodGreenTeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06522567890761838153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693176331381554957.post-11956400019538442342012-03-28T08:35:32.081-07:002012-03-28T08:35:32.081-07:00Tea Fanatic,

It was a unique opportunity to purchase such a great tea- lucky for those who got their order in!<br /><br />The Jung sun is pretty standard Korean jungjak grade tea, it tastes a bit different because of the steaming process though. My advice with this one is to drink it shortly after opening as one got less then exciting results with this tea weeks after opening the package. Fresh green tea is always better green tea!<br /><br />Let us know what you thought of it.<br /><br />PeaceMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02736984697520031171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693176331381554957.post-17311625829406737912012-03-28T03:38:47.335-07:002012-03-28T03:38:47.335-07:00Bah!
