Blue Sky from Tea Palace
85

Sipdown! So my clever scheme to empty tins was briefly foiled when I realized that I had already moved the lychee congou into a smaller tin, and the larger tin was being used for Lupicia’s Grapefruit Green, and there is more lychee congou than I can quickly sipdown in there anyway. But! I did find that my sample tin of this was nearly empty, so I cleaned it out and now I should be able to shuffle some teas around again. Also through more creative shuffling I now (nearly) have four empty large tins. Too bad I need seven! I guess I will have to break down and order more.

Anyway, back to this tea. I’ll definitely miss it. Floral and fruity and even a touch creamy, which I think comes from the mallow blossoms. When I eventually get back to London and the Tea Palace, I just might have to pick some more up.

Bio

I am tea obsessed, with the stash to match. I tend to really enjoy green oolongs, Chinese blacks, and flavored teas with high quality bases, especially florals, bergamot-based teas, and chocolate teas.

I’m a grad student and in my free time I am a birder, baker, and music/movie/tv addict.

I have an Adagio Teas UtiliTEA kettle and a Tea Forté Kati cup for brewing. I also have a Chinese Ru Kiln tea set for gongfu brewing.

Here are my rating categories, FYI:
100-90: These teas are mind-blowingly good to me.
89-80: I really really like these teas and will keep most of them in the permanent collection, but they’re not quite as spectacular as the top category
79-70: Tasty teas that I enjoy, but definitely won’t rebuy when I run out.
69-65: Teas that I would probably drink again, but wouldn’t seek out. They don’t quite do it for me in one aspect or another; often just not quite my style
64-60: Teas that I don’t really enjoy all that much and wouldn’t drink another cup of.
59-50: Bleh. I usually choose not to finish the cup because life’s too short to drink tea I dislike.
49 and below: Mega yuck. This tea is just disgusting to me.
