593 Tasting Notes

Keemun Mao Feng Black Tea (Keemun Mao Feng Hong Cha) from Jing Tea
91
Mao Jian Green Tea from Canton Tea Co
86

Still yummy. Good for multiple infusions, too. Tiny glass gong fu teapot works well. (100ML)

Silver Needle White Tea from Chicago Tea Garden
97

Exquisite. Simply exquisite. Use a tiny porcelain gaiwan to brew this silver needle and heaven is yours.

Ceylon Black Tea from Jing Tea
72
Top Leaf from Mellow Monk
81

Interesting stuff. Hmm. Need to spend more time before rating.

Keemun Hao Ya A Grade "Chinese Breakfast Tea" from Chicago Tea Garden
94

Oh man. My first sips, but already this is amazing. Very smoky. Need to spend more time before doing a proper rating.

Mao Jian Green Tea from Canton Tea Co
86

I prepared this with a little more leaf, and nutty/creamy notes emerge. Nice.

Ti Kuan Yin from thepuriTea
76

This was a surprise. The leaf looked both small and somewhat broken, and I didn’t detect much of a nose on the infused leaf. However, the flavor of the tea is much stronger than its nose would suggest, and I think this could make, as one reviewer said, a good everyday drinker.

Imperial Mojiang Golden Bud Yunnan Black Tea from Yunnan Sourcing
96
Bai Lin Gong Fu from Canton Tea Co
91

Still a stunner. One of my favorites. Creamy and mild. Maybe a little too mild, but still wonderful.

1999 Vietnamese Cooked Loose Puerh from Canton Tea Co
76
Jasmine Pearls from Canton Tea Co

My favorite jasmine pearls. Light, subtle, delicious. Don’t use too many!

2007 Guo Yan Star of Bu Long Pu-Erh from Yunnan Sourcing
Supreme Breakfast from Harney & Sons
72

I see no reason to drink any other breakfast blend. . .for breakfast, anyway.

Zoubrovka from Kusmi Tea
87
Mi Lan Dan Cong from Canton Tea Co
80

Enjoyable. Strong honey notes. I prefer Canton Tea Co’s Magnolia Blossom Dan Cong, however, this tea may be more accessible.

Zoubrovka from Kusmi Tea
87

Blow me away why doncha? Herbal, sweet…Kusmi is right, this does taste like a liqueur. Delicious. Simply delicious.

Dragon Well  pre-Qing Ming First Grade from Teas Etc
Hao Ya 'B' from Harney & Sons
78
Get Lost - No. 6 (Wellness Collection) from The Republic of Tea

This is my morning tonic with a dollop of virgin coconut oil. Works well for Atkins dieters!

Yunnan Golden Tips (Dian Hong) from Narien Teas

Dragon Well  pre-Qing Ming First Grade from Teas Etc
