593 Tasting Notes

Yunwu Green (Cloud Mist) from Peter Asher Coffee and Tea
79

This is a very good green tea. The initial notes are somewhat vegetal, but they expand into a fruity sweetness. Very nice.

Li Shan Oolong from Canton Tea Co
95
Li Shan Oolong from Naivetea
88

Really quite delightful. Sweet and floral with hints of violet.

China Breakfast from Rishi Tea
77
Golden Monkey from Adagio Teas

Chi-Sin Oolong from International Tea Farm Allaince/TeaFarms.org
Tezpur Blend TGBOP from Peter Asher Coffee and Tea
84

A very tasty Assam indeed. Robust with just enough astringency and bitterness to make it a good breakfast tea. Strong “fresh” quality.

Thé du Hammam from Le Palais des Thes
79

An exquisite flavored green tea. Light with balanced, nuanced flavors.

Fujian Ti Kuan Yin from Adagio Teas
Grand Yunnan Imperial from Le Palais des Thes

Ooooh Darjeeling from Adagio Teas
81

This tea is still soo good. Straddles the line between black and oolong very, very well.

Tea from Portugal? Wow! I need to drink more of this before giving it a rating.

English Breakfast Tea by S.D. Bell from Best International Tea (S.D. Bell)
67

Very smooth, clean tasting tea. Give it a good long steep if you like your breakfast tea to have a little “bite” at its finish.

Dong Ding from Naivetea
93

I saved this for a cold-weather tasting, and it is excellent. Deep, rich, delicious and warming. Strongly recommended.

2011 Canton Tea Co Special Puerh from Canton Tea Co

Some nice sweetness in this tea, though it is very, very young and has some definite rough edges. I would imagine, however, that this could age quite nicely.

Castleton Estate Autumn Delight 2010 from Thunderbolt Tea
83
Organic White Peony (Bai Mu Dan) Tea from Teavivre
79
Ripened Aged Pu-erh Mini Tuocha from Teavivre
86

Surprisingly tasty, smooth and slightly chocolatey. Hint: Use good quality water when brewing this tea.

Bailin Gongfu Black Tea from Teavivre
96

BTW, this stuff also produces a decent second infusion, unusual for a black tea.
