10 Tasting Notes

Ceylon Vithanakande FBOPF (EX) from SpecialTeas

Ceylon Vithanakande FBOPF1 from SpecialTeas

Temple of Heaven Gunpowder from New Mexico Tea Company

Still not crazy about most greens. The taste that really stuck out to me was: Breaded fried shrimp. All but one of the green teas I’ve tried tasted like a weak veal or seafood stock. Not that It’s a bad thing, just not what I expected.

Assam Mangalam FBOP from SpecialTeas
75

Very nice broken Assam. Very complex, but the Mokalbari is still my favorite black of this type.

Assam Hazelbank FTGFOP1 from SpecialTeas
Ceylon Dimbulla OP from SpecialTeas

This is not the usual lemony Ceylon. The description is correct. Very nice.

China Emperors Red (Fujian) from SpecialTeas
75

Wow. A China black unlike any of the Keemuns or Yunnans. When I smell this it reminds me of fresh oatmeal cookies. Incredible.

Assam Mokalbari SFTGBOP CL from SpecialTeas
75

This is the best broken leaf Assam I have had so far. Mid priced at about $12 for a 1/4 lb. I usually drink 2 to 3 cups a day. If you like a malty- honey Assam with a lot of complexity, this could be your favorite.

Majulighur TGFOP from Assam
75

Fairly light for a full leaf Assam. I am trying it with a splash of milk. Nice malty flavor.

Ceylon Vithanakande FBOPF1 from SpecialTeas
75

The best Ceylon I have had yet. If I didn’t know better, I would have guessed it was a full leaf Assam. Very smooth.
