JacquelineM drank Gyokuro Black (organic) by DAVIDsTEA

OMG! OMG! OMG! Roasty tangy unsweetened nut butter-esqe Fujian amazingness! Emphasis on the roasty! Stone fruit on the end of the sip. Everything I hoped for, and more (and it’s organic!). I’m thrilled. I want 12794902840928490 pounds of this.

Do you at least have enough on hand to get you through the blizzard? :)

So, is it good?

gmathis – I have 50g – I was pretty confident I would like this one seeing it’s Fujian, but I didn’t know how much!

Ze_Teamaker – if the three OMGs didn’t give it away ;)

ashmanra – I’m going to have to rip open my box to you and include this. It’s like the Emperor/Gong Fu Black/all the roasty goodies!

I am beginning to think there isn’t a Fujian I don’t absolutely adore.

Bio

I love to cook, bake, read, paint, knit, do needlework, and garden. I need my coffee, but I LOVE my tea. I work at an Art School, and I am currently taking classes in order to become certified to teach.

I enjoy writing tasting notes, but have decided not to numerically rate teas as of 9/14/10. For an explanation, see my looooong tasting note about Mountain Malt from the Simple Leaf.

My favorites:
Chinese black teas
A good “milk and sugar” English style black
Earl Grey (classic, and in all variations!)
Vanilla teas (classic, and in all variations!)
Jasmine, Rose, Violet and other froofy, flowery teas!
An Occasional Oolong
Flavored Rooibos
Herbal Tisanes
