89 Tasting Notes
Sister and Brother is a fantastic experience. The bricks are mensong material, one roasted during the ‘kill green’ process than the other. In my opinion, I thought they were both great. I couldn’t chose a favorite between Brother or Sister, because they both stood so strong on their own.
Overall, they were fruity, floral, and sweet. I recommend this experience to anyone because of how fun it was. However, I would rate this a 100, but I felt like the iron pressing of these bricks kind of lessened the experience. However, both bricks were complex in flavor and gave off an amazing body feel.

Flavors: Fig, Flowers, Fruity, Grass, Green, Hay, Medicinal, Sugar
Preparation
This tea has settled down beautifully over the past year.
Midas Touch is excellent. Although I don’t have last year’s to compare it to, I thought this years was fantastic! This tea had a brassy base, with a sweet finish. Midas Touch definitely had a bliss point after I hit the 1 minute steeping mark, and was all very relaxing.

Preparation
This oolong is all around accessible, complex, and has an incredible energy. This tea smelled and tasted like buttered popcorn, and left a soothing aftertaste. I think that the price tag is sort of on the higher side, but this tea is made with exceptional quality so I think its worth it.

Preparation
The Certified Organic “Winter Rhythm” Oolong Tea – Winter 2015 is a decent exception-its $23 for 150 grams. I’ve wanted to try it myself, but haven’t because I do not know for sure if it would become my go to tea. My current struggle has been finding a good regular green oolong. I’ve narrowed it down to the kinds of Oolongs I like, but the pool is still too large.
Wow! This tea got me really drunk, and over the past year, it’s done an amazing job at getting stronger and stronger. I got really tea drunk from this tea, and I even gave it the award for Best Sheng of 2016.
Bitter Leaf Teas did an amazing job at sourcing this tea, and honestly, it’s one of their best. IU think that this tea needs to come back. I wrote more about it here — a more in-depth review…

So I decided to revisit 2000 Old Warrior again, and I must say, it’s still going strong! I even wrote a new review of it here…

I think that Old Warrior is a fantastic aged shou, and isa tea that can be enjoyed by nearly everyone. I really recommend that everyone at least try this tea for your self. Despite it tasting great for an aged shou, it was exceptionally clean. I was very surprised by this.
Just another great tea by Crimson Lotus Tea :)
Flavors: Bark, Compost, Dirt, Earth, Medicinal
Preparation
Here I am again!
We Go High as done really well over the past few months. After revaluation, its gotten much more drinkable and much more complex. I believe this tea is a Jingmai and Mensong blend, and is exceptional as far as body feels goes.

Preparation
Wow!
This has to be one of White2Tea’s most incredible sheng puer’s to date. I’ve had this tea since September, and only sipped on it a few times. The last time I sipped on it, it released to much tension in my body that it made me cry. This tea is beautifully complex, and makes you feel amazing when drinking it. Not only that, it taste like cotton candy! This is a perfect example of what a blended sheng puer should taste like.

Flavors: Candy, Cotton Candy, Cut Grass, Grass, Olive Oil, Sugar
Preparation
I was given this tea as a gift, and decided to give it a try. Honestly, this is one of the gorssest teas that I’ve encountered over the past year and a half. The leaves we’re a mess and there was a lot of dirt. It tasted like farm, bird poop, and leather. After 6 steeps of this tea, I had to throw it out.

Preparation
Well,
This tea started out very oily and had strong body feels. I stayed tea drink for four hours, and now a day later, I feel hung over. It’s crazy because this tea is already so young, yet so strong. It’ll be crazy to see what this tea is like a year for now.
