Ali Shan Jin Shuan "SiaoSyue" 2010 Winter from DigniTea

LiberTEAS drank Ali Shan Jin Shuan "SiaoSyue" 2010 Winter by DigniTea

Enjoying this Ali Shan again, and writing a review on it as well (to be published in a couple of days on the SororiTea Sisters blog… please watch for it!) The flavor is remarkable: at once it is sweet and floral, soft and silky smooth, with hints of buttered popcorn and lightly toasted nuts. There is also a pleasing undertone of spice that I don’t remember ever tasting in an Ali Shan before. It has a remarkable amount of flavor for such a “light” tea.

Love!

I seem to remember you liking Ali Shan in another review; perhaps it was different. Anyhow I gather you liked.

Ali Shan is my favorite type of Oolong. :)

Good. I am fond of vintage or classic Wulong (Oolong).

Profile

Bio

I am obsessed with tea!

I am a co-founder of the SororiTEA Sisters:
http://sororiteasisters.com

I also review teas for the Tea Review Blog:
http://www.teareviewblog.com

In addition to my passion for tea, I am also a mixed media/altered arts artist. You can see some of my art here: http://eccentricpastiche.blogspot.com

I am also a self-proclaimed foodie. I review local restaurants and the food I buy online here: http://hungryinportland.wordpress.com

My favorite teas are Yellow Teas with most Oolong teas at a close second. As far as “flavored” teas go, I love Earl Grey, Chocolate and Jasmine teas.

I also am intrigued by flavored teas with an unusual or unique flavor combination.

I don’t do a whole lot of swaps anymore, however, I do occasionally sell sampler boxes here: http://liberteas.teatra.de/ I don’t always have sampler boxes available as it depends upon how much time I have as well as packaging supplies. I usually post at least one or two sampler boxes per month, though, so if you’re interested, keep an eye out or PM me and I’ll let you know when I have some posted.

Most of the teas that I record in my notes here are going to have a fairly high rating from me. This is not because I am not discerning, but because I do not usually waste my time on drinking tea I do not care for, nor will I waste my time on writing about it.
