an awesome tea

little glass pitcher method (grandpa style)

when I smell the leaves dry, they smell sort of musty.

when I smell the leaves wet, they smell nice and honey like.

when I smell the brewed tea, it smells nice and honey like.

when I taste the brewed tea, it tastes like honey.

I rate this a 90 because it seemed to only taste like honey

many thanks to Amanda ‘SoggyEnderman’ Wilson for this amazing tea

this tea is awesome!

however it has lost its freshness (probably due to moisture). even though its been opened 3 times :( it seems this tea is the only tea that ive tried that looses freshness fast.

so i rate it 80 and cannot do a full review

i do note the coffee/espresso taste and it does have a sour smell to the leaves. but it tastes great still

however i do thank my friend paola for this awesome tea

this is an awesome tea!

when i smell the leaves dry, they smell peppery like bi luo chun green tea.

when i smell the leaves wet, they smell more grassy and green like veggies.

when i smell the brewed tea, it smells nice and sweet and grassy.

when i taste the brewed tea, it tastes grassy and sweet :D

the sweetness is why i give it a score of 100. i recommend you buy some.

many thanks to Angel teavivre for this amazing free sample! :D

Cool. Is it sweet like a dragonwell?

Kirkoneill1988

not too close just a tad. say 0.500% like dragonwell. but i could be wrong

Kirkoneill1988

i would also have to try it again and focus for a more accurate report (comparison). im sure you understand indigobloom

Indigobloom

Of course! sounds like a fun experiment

so i tried some of this spring 2015 bi luo chun

when i smell the leaves dry, they smell nice and peppery.

when i smell the leaves wet, the smell is intensified.

when i smell the brewed tea, it smells nice and peppery and like veggies.

when i taste the brewed tea, it tastes peppery and like veggies and spices.

a decent tea

the reason i score this is an 80 is because I’m not into bi luo chun much :(

an ok tea.

little pitcher method (grandpa style):

when I smell the leaves dry, they smell like veggies and pepper.

when I smell the leaves wet, the smell is intensified.

when I smell the brewed tea, it smells sweet and like veggies.

when I taste the brewed tea, it tastes sweet and like veggies.

the reason I give it a 50, is because it tastes too much like veggies and gets bitter fast.

I shall share the 2nd pack with a friend
