JacquelineM drank Yunnan Golden Buds by Samovar

My coworker asked if I could make some 175 degree water for her green tea in my kettle, so I thought I would make a tea which tastes great at that temperature too! Yunnan Golden Buds came immediately to mind. I have lost track of the number of infusions, but I’ve been drinking cup after cup since 9am (it’s now almost 1pm!) and the tea is still a sweet potato and brown sugar delight. Amazing.

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
