a nice smooth tea

when i smell the tea dry, it has a nice but weak musty smell. :)

when i smell the tea wet, it smells sweet and floral.

when i smell the brewed tea, it smells sweet and floral

when i taste the brewed tea, it tastes smooth, sweet and floral.

many thanks to Sophia yang for selling me this awesome tea :D

i don’t like this tea much anymore, it’s hard to steep without rinsing till soft then breaking up. but my dear friend Thomas Edward(toad) would love to try it :D so I’m sending it to him as a trade :D

so i have no had this tea in months, it was sitting in my dresser. so it still tastes really good :D

so i won one tea ball of this from teavivre

when I smell the tea ball dry, it smells like flowers.

when I smell the bloomed flower it smells sweet and flowery

when I smell the brewed tea, it smells like white tea and flowers

when i taste the brewed tea, it tastes like white tea and flowers

so there is a tie between my top two favorite teas. this and dragonwell (long jing) also my dear followers , have you tried this tea? was it from ippodo or elsewhere? what did you think of it?

so i had this along with another tea (not mixed of course) and this tea is still a decent tea :)

still a great tea. however I don’t know why they called it a white tea when It really is a puehr. :/

so i had some of this tea today, and i still think its an awesome tea!

i was thinking while drinking this tea:

boy, it sure is raining p’s and q’s! someone in the world must not be minding their own business. oh! that’s you reading my review! ha ha ha ha just kidding. i’m glad you are reading my reviews :D

so i had this tea today after a few weeks of not drinking any tea at home. (i don’t know why i did not drink any tea at home for a while) anyhow, this tea is still a decent tea.

little Glass pitcher method (grandpa style):

when i smell the leaves dry, they smell nice! roasted, toasty and crisp

when i smell the leaves wet, its the same as above but also has a aged smell to it (in a good way)

when i smell the brewed tea, it smells same as above but also has a coffee/espresso taste to it! :D

When i taste the brewed tea, it tastes like all of the above! :D

WHAT A WONDERFUL TEA!! :D Hojicha is my new #1 favorite Japanese tea!
