Good News Bad News for Yunnan OP 6112 lovers!

I have found a replacement for the Yunnan OP 6112. That strong woodsey/oakey flavor that many of us, including me love so much. Unfortunately it is more expensive than the OP 6112 and you have to use more of it to achieve that wonderful taste. It is a Royal Golden Yunnan, Extra Fancy Supreme. The price is $10 for small tin(2oz), $19 for large tin(4oz) or $25 for a 1/2lb(definitely the way to go). Use 1 heaping teaspoon/cup - boiling water - steep 4 minutes.

One that is close but not as close, is a Yunnan 3rd grade. It is much less expensive and will remind you of the OP 6112. $5.50 for a small tin, $10 for a large and $15 for 1/2lb
