What’s in a name – the Third Half…

Will Shakespeare’s, Juliet's immortal words……
“What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;”

We romanticize the exotic and mystical names of Chinese teas.
Six Ancient Mountain Gods Tea.
Virgin Spring Morning Picked Tea
…. And the list continues ….

My wife called this morning to let me know our daughter named the new brick of Pu-Erh I opened before I left for China.

Exact English Name:
Oh boy! That gets you going in the morning, you only need half a cup.

Interpretative translation:
Wa…. Zhi He Ban Bei, Jiu Gan Jue Hen Hao Le.
Wa.... only half a cup, makes you feel good.
