Dragon Balls (Long Qui) from Silk Road Teas

100

JacquelineM drank Dragon Balls (Long Qui) by Silk Road Teas

Thank you Soccer Mom for sending me Dragon Balls!!!!!!!!!

Some days are just simply oolong days. I get this feeling like there is nothing more that I want than to have a little pot of tea going the entire day (oh! and sit and do embroidery all day, but clearly THAT’S not going to happen today as I’m sitting here at work. At least I can have the tea part (and lunch hour embroidery!!!).

Woody and nutty, turning to buttery and cinnamony/nutmegy and SWEET! So very sweet. Honeyfloral. I simply adore this tea. And I’m only 3 steeps in!!! :)

I am in a near panic thinking that after today’s pots, I only have one Dragon Ball left in my stash. I think I require a lockdown breakout!!!!

EDIT: Seven amazing steeps today. I think it could have done a few more, but I’ve had enough for today. This would be a good one to share!

This and the Imperial Red Da Hong Pao from Silk Road Teas are 2 of my faves! I want to try some of their Yunnan region offerings too…

JacquelineM I am so glad you like them I love them both two in fact I may like the Imperial Red better than the Long Qui.

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
