The color and aroma just seems to blend and the taste was absolutely divine. Thank you for sharing your tea experiences/expression/impressions are immensely poetic.

Your words made me even more determined that I have to try Sunrise - by the time of my next travel to Czech republic, Kim Shin Ho's Balhyocha will hopefully be already in stock as well. Seems like it's going to be another trip rich in Korean tea for me (as far as Sunrise won't be sold out, at least).Michal Tallohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08126923162982150544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841380412869173403.post-48078107299263599202011-08-16T05:12:49.562+02:002011-08-16T05:12:49.562+02:00Last night, I drank the last of the Saeboek Hyangg...Last night, I drank the last of the Saeboek Hyanggi 'Sunrise' tea. It was a bit sad seeing the caddy empty but after the first brew, I was reminded again why I felt this tea to be so good, maybe the best Balhyocha (Paryo cha) I've had to date. This tea is nuanced with all kinds of flavors and I suggest to drinkers to not skimp on the amount of tea put into the pot. Although costly by comparison with other Balhyocha, putting more leaf into the pot rewards the drinker with a much deeper, fuller, flavor and aroma than just a few grams will give you. In fact, I have found most Korean teas benefit from much more leaf in the pot than what is typically brewed at teashops and fairs. I am planning on ordering more of this tea this week.Ho Gohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12296073483005184718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841380412869173403.post-21237990639636020802011-08-13T22:42:57.206+02:002011-08-13T22:42:57.206+02:00Michal,

I still hope to get my hands on Sunrise in the near future - from what I've heard in the teahouse as well as from yours and Matt's comments, it seems like there is definitely a lot to look forward to in this tea!<br />I'm certainly fond and proud of the Czech and Slovak tea culture and I realize its unusual rareness - so I try to enjoy all of its advantages to the fullest :-)<br /><br />Matt,<br />Thank you for your kind words as well as the clarifying insight. I thought these teas would be graded similarly to what you described - your comment helped specify what was originally only a guess of mine with accurate facts.<br />I am definitely looking forward to reading your post on Sunrise!Michal Tallohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08126923162982150544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841380412869173403.post-42213701273141544542011-08-13T19:48:26.642+02:002011-08-13T19:48:26.642+02:00Michal,
One is thoroughly enjoying your posts on ...Michal,<br /><br />One is thoroughly enjoying your posts on Korean tea.<br /><br />Just to clarify:<br /><br />Kim Jong Yeol has produced two grades of Balhyocha (Korean yellow tea) this season:<br /><br />Balhyocha Saebyeok Hyanggi "Sunrise" is produced using early Saejak grade leaves. It is a pricier tea because of the higher grade leaves used for this balhyocha. The name "Sunset" likely refers to the lighter vibrant notes that often accompany balhyocha made with Ujeon (and in this case early Saejak) grade leaves.<br /><br />Balhyocha Noeul Hyanggi "Sunset" is produced using late saejak/jungjak leaves normally used for balhyocha. The name "Sunset" likely refers to the very relaxing qualities found from balhyocha.<br /><br />One should be receiving a sample of the Balhyocha Saebyeok Hyanggi "Sunrise" sometime next week. Stay tuned for a post on that tea soon.<br /><br />Thanks again for this wonderful post.<br /><br />PeaceMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02736984697520031171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841380412869173403.post-31890982625890350562011-08-13T19:30:27.069+02:002011-08-13T19:30:27.069+02:00Good stuff!

I bought the Sunrise as I thought it was a more interesting tea but could certainly live with Sunset! <br /><br />Looks like you never have to leave your area to get the best teas in the world. How lucky you are.Ho Gohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12296073483005184718noreply@blogger.com
