I think I’ve had this tea for over 2 years now. Definitely less fresh than it was before. =/ But still nice. All those years in my unair-conditioned dorm room probably weren’t so nice to it >_<

Good Dragonwell with a complex flavor. I really like this tea I’ve been able to get 3 steepings out of it by using a little more than the recommended 1.25 teaspoons & steeping the last one for 3-4 minutes.

My new favorite white tea. This tea has the unmistakable flavor of sweet potatoes that I find in the best white teas. I will be drinking this for a long time to come.

This is a beautiful fragrant Japanese green tea. Vegetable in the best sense of the word when speaking of tea. I love it.

I think this is best during late may and early june once its getting warmer. makes you want to go watch ships coming in to the bay with a nice salty breeze in the air. It’s a little dry but the sweetness of the fruits adds quite a pleasure. mmmmmm

The name suites it well… a very dry tea but full of interesting flavors that pop out at you. I find it’s the best during rainy march days while reading some fantasy. It makes you excited for spring flowers ad has a strong smell of them too that fills up your room.

Dry copper leaves sprinkled with silver tips give off light muscatel smell. Gaiwan infusion – 1 tbsp in 100 mL. First amber-colored infusion has slight raisin aroma and a smooth mouthfeel. Second infusion gives slight fruity and muscatel taste. Reminds me a little bit of sheng Pu Ehr… Third infusion is thin. Overall smooth and light-tasting muscatel.

Pre-Qing Ming Tian Mu Shan Spring Beauty Mao Jian from Tea Trekker

This Pre Qing-Ming tea shows beautiful white-hair covered leaves rolled into spirals. Fresh smell. Gaiwan infusion – 1 tbsp in 100 mL. First infusion (2 mins) gives a bright-colored kelpy and smoky soup. Subsequent infusions (1 min, 2 mins and 4 mins) evolve into slight vegetal. No astringency. Spent leaves are plump and beautiful. Unfortunately, the liquor isn’t as fresh and generous.
