			Tea is in my cup. I usually order green tea from The Republic of Tea, but last month I decided to order sample packets from Upton Tea. I ordered 20 sample packets (20 different green teas) and have been trying them each day. I came upon one this morning called Tribute Lung Ching (#ZG01), which I thought was superb. I went to order some and discovered that it really is a limited availability tea. According to Upton Tea, they only occasionally are able to get this particular tea because it requires special growing conditions that occur rarely. Isn't that always the case: find something you particularly like/want and it isn't readily available! I asked if they expected to have more available in the near future and the answer was no. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
			Anyway, if anyone is a green tea lover Upton still has a few 2g packets available. It is worth trying this tea. Last edited by rhadin; 03-16-2010 at 03:12 PM.  |

			I buy in bulk the Republic of Tea's People's Daily Green Tea, which I like to drink throughout the day. However, for my breakfast pot, I rotate each day among Republic's Long Din Bud, Bi Luo Xian, and Yunnan Green green teas. Now I'll add the Upton Tea's Tribute Lung Ching to the rotation, but perhaps a little less frequently than every 4th day because I can't replace it. As it is, I spent $150 buying all Upton had left of the 10g packages of the Tribute tea.

	If this were television, I'd be getting a sizable kickback about now for the product placement!
