I think both of those were covered in the write-up, that comparing dis-similar teas is of limited usefulness, or maybe it's something I repeat so often I can't put it in every comparison post. The part about astringency being positive is definitely in this. For rating teas or comparing to determine relative quality of similar teas they would have to be identical, but for a reader to hear of differences across dis-similarities in type a comparison like this would work much better. A reviewer would then need to be clear that they aren't the same, and spell out that preference to version type is going to tilt the subjective part of evaluation as much or maybe even more than relative quality of teas, which I tried to make clear in this. Thanks to mention though; it might be possible for others to read past all that.John Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00485492978163517529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5896101085985164789.post-65262849252569797602017-06-09T19:50:48.908-07:002017-06-09T19:50:48.908-07:00Av 2 clonal teas should only compared to teas of a...Av 2 clonal teas should only compared to teas of a similar clone. A slight astrigengy is preferred by traditional Darjeeling drinkers.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12104461778538191417noreply@blogger.com
