Anxi Superfine Tie Guan Yin “Iron Goddess” Oolong Tea from Teavivre

100

Azzrian drank Anxi Superfine Tie Guan Yin “Iron Goddess” Oolong Tea by Teavivre

Good golly this is amazing! The floral aspects are perfection but there is a melon-y aspect that is surprising and delicious!
This goes on the TO ORDER list!
This may just end up being a staple as well.
We will see how much I continue to crave it after my first order.

A 100 rating definitely catches my attention, I’ll have to look into this. I’m not a huge fan of floral teas though, at least not where the floral flavor is real strong or the primary taste.

Would you say this has a pretty heavy floral taste or is it more of a light floral taste? Hope you don’t mind the random question, just curious.

Definitely light on the floral. I get far more of a melon like flavor then in later steeps it becomes sweet. The oolong is very nice for a lighter roast, I usually prefer heftier darker roasted ones. :)

That’s good to hear – I also don’t usually enjoy heavily floral or vegetal teas, but a light floral or vegetal flavour is always welcome. I’ll be sure to check it out.

Cool, that sounds good, thanks for the clarification. :)

Most of my reviews will be “snippits” of full reviews that can be found at http://sororiteasisters.com/
Posted every evening at 6 EST.
I usually try to post the exact date that the full reviews will post however sometimes post dates need changed so it may not always be correct. Generally the dates are correct however.

About Me:

Most of my reviews, although not all, will be quite favorable of the tea. This is not because all tea is excellent, but more so because I generally will not waste my time on an inferior tea. If I do not care for a tea I won’t continue to drink it let alone spend time reviewing it. If you see a review by me you basically know it is a quality tea. Granted it may not suit your specific taste buds, we all like different things, but as for a tea on the whole it is a good one, from a good company.

I am a spiritual advisor by profession.
I have two “young adult” children.
Four cats and three dogs.

Some of my hobbies include gardening, essential oil therapy, natural perfumery with essential oils, and cooking.

I look for complexity overall in any tea, dimensions to the flavors.

I believe tea should evoke a feeling, thought, emotion, or attitude.

I enjoy most all oolongs, blacks, whites, and greens.

I always love to try a good yellow tea.

I favor unadulterated teas but I do have my longings for a good flavored tea now and then so I don’t rule them out by any means!

I enjoy green rooibos don not like red rooibos.
