1113 Tasting Notes

Aside from aged oolongs, this brews the darkest cup of oolong I have had yet. This is a very dark and roasted taste which I really enjoy. This tea doesn’t have fruity notes to is as many other pheonix oolongs I have had included.This is not an outside tea though as it is just very strong, I prefer to sip this as I read because it just throws my senses wild as it is very strong.

Finally after drinking 5 pots of this tea over the last week I am able to evaluate it!
I find this tea to be described in an unusual way as I find it to taste like what straight oolong would be described as by my taste buds. While that may not make much sense, it really is a straight oolong taste with no undertones which surprises me because it taste like some oolong tea that has been processed somewhere high up. I really enjoy this tea even though the first few cups made me think it was just a usual cup of tea but as I drank it I realized that its the pureness of this tea that makes me enjoy it- just as I enjoy my gyokuro because of its close to pure definition of what I would say green tea should taste like all on its own.

Yet another green chai… I have hope that one day there shall arise one that is decent. Green tea just doesn’t seem to mix well with spices no matter how well the ratio has been balanced out. This may have been a better attempt with the nutty notes from the almond pieces but I still do not desire to drink this.

drank Oolong Berry by TehKu

First of all: I have bought this tea many times and I am unsure how many cups of it have passed through my body.

This is by far one of the best fruity oolong teas I have ever tasted. The labels don’t tell you what kind of berries are in it but I don’t care because I’m after taste. The oolong is quality and the berry taste is quite satisfying as it is not on its own out of nowhere nor does it override the oolong taste; they work together in harmony. Such a wonderful tea :)

The gold dust shall never escape my empty package!
This tea was recommended to me after I told the owner that black teas will never have a positive relationship… however I generally listen to advice from others so I bought a bag with intentions of giving it to a friend but the curiosity hit me and I tried a cup. The smoky taste added with a milder black tea taste wasn’t that bad actually; in fact I kept half of the bag and drank the rest myself.

NO NO NO!
Rose petals and coconut do not blend well period… the addition of pineapple sweetness and cornflower blossoms on top of whatever this brewed added to the green tea base can be entertaining but unadvised.

Brew this cup and hand it to a friend to provide a great example of how a hot cup of green tea with fruit should taste. The balance of gunpowder green tea and ‘premium green tea’ is fantastic as it blends with the strawberry and pineapple to provide refreshing fruity green tea. As a tea this is thirst quenching and provides comfort with the enjoyment that comes from pineapples and strawberries becoming friends in your mouth :)

drank Green Pomegranate by TehKu

I have been really enjoying the pomegranate flavors being added to teas but with this tea it’s the mixture of green and white that lose its appeal. While the pomegranate pieces and flavor are nice, the white tea adds a dry leaf taste that isn’t attractive compared to what a green tea that is mellow would produce.

This tea is quite interesting. The first brewing had a nice woodsy taste to it and would be ideal to sip inside during the winter. The second brewing has that mild puckering taste that comes from the plum notes, which I picked up and my friend did not. This is one of the better black teas I have had thus far but there is still a desire to have a stronger aroma and taste to come out of steeping. I used about 5g of this tea and brewed it for about 5 minutes with water around 208-210 degrees. Overall it was an enjoyable tea to drink between steepings as the flavor changes but I still find myself with a somewhat of a dry taste after finishing cup even when the woodsy notes are gone which is an odd feeling.

drank Laoshan Black by Verdant Tea

Sipping down this tea with a friend as we samples some more black teas since it’s the type of tea I generally stay away from. This black tea is quite mild compared to many others that I have tasted and it’s almost like a weakened warm honey in a way as well. We actually finished the pot off which means I didn’t pour it out, but once I was done with my fourth cup I came to the conclusion that this tea doesn’t really offer a taste that I would consider chasing after- though as a black tea it isn’t bitter and rough toward my taste buds, I just don’t see myself desiring to brew the rest of my Laoshan Black anytime soon.
