I have some of that sitting in my tea box, so it may be time to give it a go. Their Assams have never disappointed me yet!

Best wishes,

Lindsay said

Hmmm. Any suggestions for other teas I should get from there? :)

I’ve loved pretty well all the Assam’s I’ve tried. My favourite Ceylon is the Lumbini one but Joel told me his favourite is the Golden Garden one. I like their take on Marco Polo as a flavoured tea. The glendale estate Nilgrili was pretty nice. He has some decent Darjeeling’s but I am not really experienced with them. As well I really liked the Rwanda Rukheri. As for the Chinese teas. I’ve liked the Keemun’s, and the hunan black and many of the others. Joel is more than happy to help you cater the order to your tastes if you contact him and let him no your tastes and ask for recommendations:-). I’m probably making an order for some new Assam’s and the Rwandan tea in the near future.

My favourite Assam was the Doomni Estate Assam FGTGFOP (CL), followed by the Halmari Estate Assam TGFOP1. If I was to get an Assam now, given my tastes, I would likely go with the Meleng Estate Assam FTGFOP1 (CL) SPL – 2014, as it looks succulently tippy.

As for Ceylons, I have had 2 from Joel: the Pothotuwa Estate Ceylon FBOPF (EX-SP) – Ruhuna Dist., and the Lovers Leap Estate Ceylon FBOP. The former was great, the latter so-so.

And for Darjeelings, I have the Jungpana Estate 2nd Flush Darjeeling Wonder Muscatel open and ready for tasting on the weekend. My next order may well include the Puttabong Estate ORGANIC 2nd Flush Darjeeling SFTGFOP1 – MOONDROPS 2014 and the
Margaret’s Hope Estate 2nd Flush Darjeeling FTGFOP1 (MUSCAT) – 2014.

Best wishes,
sherubtse

yyz- Thanks for pointing out the Hunan Black. It is one that I had missed in my perusal of Joel’s blacks.

Best wishes,

Sil select said

kyla – some fantastically wonderful black teas and puerhs from garret if you’re looking to try things, and he has smaller sizes so you don’t always need to buy a whole cake.

Garret said

Errrr…. I am a wee bit embarrassed that I neglected to say that this sale is for Mandala Tea. I must have had a touch of TDD today. Tea Deficit Disorder. Thanks Marzipan!

Garret is the tea meister at Mandala Teas, definitely one that you, as a self professed newbie, should become familiar with.

And Garret, I love that discount code. From ale to tea to muffins to, I don’t know, probably deodorant, we are inundated with pumpkin this time of year. Even superheroes are getting in on it: https://medium.com/the-nib/welcome-to-stark-bucks-49e01a68cd1c. Thank you for your low-key protest.

Lindsay said

Ok, I need to stop buying tea. But out of curiosity, if one were going to use this sale to acquire something particularly great from Tealux, what would you recommend? :)

I shouldn’t be looking but some of their teas sound really good. I looked up the Dragon Lychee Pearls and might have to try those. Their prices are good and shipping isn’t bad.

yyz said

Lindsay in general their straight teas are better than their flavoured teas so I would focus more on those. The dragon lychee pearls are amazing though and will be on my next order from them. They do offer an opportunity to try a wide variety of styles. Popular ones include jinjunmei golden eyebrows, Assam #8, their brandy and Sumatran dark oolong, their baozhong oolong, and I know teafairy likes some of there other rolled green Oolong’s. They offer the opportunity to try teas from other regions is black Japanese teas etc without making a huge investments. A while back dexter had a nice list of favourites I wish I could remember them all.

cookies said

Agreed with yyz. The Dragon Lychee Peals are divine and the regular dragon pearls are also worth a purchase. The Green Earl Grey Cream and Sencha Berry Fig are also incredibly delicious (both greens, sorry Marz :). I want to stock up on those, but they have sales all the time. I’m thinking they’ll probably do a good one for Black Friday.

Dexter said

Lindsay – I’m agreeing with yyz straight teas are generally better than their flavored ones. Having said that I really like White Strawberry Sassafras and Cherry Goddess.
Again agreeing with yyz about:
Jin Jun Mei Golden Eyebrows
Assam #8
Brandy Oolong, Ruby 18
Would also like to add:
20 Years Aged Roasted Oolong
Black Pearl Sumatra
Fujian Beauty

They sell all their teas in 25g samples. I would buy a few of the ones that sound good to you. I’ve always been happy with their quality to price ratio of their straight teas. I wouldn’t hesitate to try anything that is in a style you normally like.
(If the cup I want was in stock, I would be placing an order too…)

OMGsrsly said

White Strawberry Sassafras is so weird and tasty, I really need to place an order and get more! I also really liked the Black Pearl Sumatra, and I have a soft spot for Cream Irish Breakfast. :)

Sil select said

echo the comments from others – great straight teas, not so much with the flavoured for the most part.

Ubacat said

I love Tealux! I placed my first loose leaf tea order with them and they are still a good standby. However with the good prices of straight Chinese teas from YS & Royal Tea Bay, my purchases have been less. They have a good selection of Japanese
greens – Sencha Tenachi Organic being one of my favs.
They do have some good flavoured: Secret of Love, Mandarin Silk, Moroccan Mint.

A must try is Jin Xuan Milk Oolong. It’s my favourite milk oolong so far.

_ I caved. dragon lychee pearls come hither!
