I've steeped it two different times and have gotten multiple flavors with each steep.

Happily...Katrina, thank you for your kind comments. Happily, most of the great tea vendors allow online purchase of their teas. I almost never get teas in person anymore; it always arrives in the mail.<br /><br />And Tieguanyin, I must say, I am likewise no fan of Argo. Though my experience may not have been as execrable as yours, it convinced me never to go back again.<br /><br />I've been to Ten Ren, but my opinion of them is... undecided but interested. <br /><br />Really, though, even companies like Argo have their place in the tea multiverse. In order for there to be people who start to become interested in the world's great teas, they have to become aware that there's something beyond the year-old, stale Lipton's somewhere at the back of their kitchen cabinet. Argo does fulfill that, at least as a start. I can't stand their tea, but it's still a step up from what most people are used to.<br /><br />Cheers, and thank you for your patronage!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13686236529267573559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661206873613003503.post-77921235424917257782010-02-08T10:27:50.608-06:002010-02-08T10:27:50.608-06:00Thank you for this informative post.

There is also Ten Ren in Chinatown (bring Mandarin interpret). TeaGschwendner definitely provides good loose leaf teas! Chicago Tea Garden and Dream About Tea are definitely on my "to visit" list next time!<br /><br />I am glad you did not mention Argo Tea. I had one terrible cup from there. I went with low expectations (tea bag in a mug of hot water) only to be served a concentrate of "tea" diluted with boiling water...<br /><br />If you are ever in the Washington DC area, <a href="http://www.chingchingcha.com/" rel="nofollow"><br />Ching Ching Cha</a> is the place to go for a nice gong fu cha experience!tieguanyinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00924156330301285699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661206873613003503.post-27563773947156389152010-02-08T10:12:46.607-06:002010-02-08T10:12:46.607-06:00This is very exciting.
