7 Tasting Notes

Immortal Springs Laoshan White from Verdant Tea
Bold Leaf Lapacho (Pao D'archo) from Upton Tea Imports
83

This tea is better to drink before going to sleep because it will knock you out. I’ve let it go from 5 minutes to 20 minutes steeping. Supposedly, the longer the better for steeping this one. No reason to resteep this one because one cup and I’m done. It has a flavor I can’t describe yet it’s familiar too. Tons of health benefits affiliated with Lapacho make this a good sleepy time herbal tea.

Taiwan Jin Xuan Milk Oolong Tea from Teavivre

THe cool thing about this oolong is the sweetness stays even with multiple steepings.

Lapsang Souchong from Adagio Teas
81

Not as smokey as some lapsangs that I have had that I’d equate to drinking BBQ. It is however fairly tasty and goes to show that the smokiness doesn’t have to be the main attraction and one can pull almost minty notes from it.

Especial Yerba Mate from Rosamonte
100

The smokiest mate I’ve had yet. Careful with the steep time on this one it can become very bitter. Have yet to try it tererĂ© styled with cold water instead of hot and infusing it with various herbs and citrus juices

Fengqing Dragon Pearl Black Tea from Teavivre
90

New to the Steepster community over and I figured now, when I just lost my computer and have taken over someone elses, would be a great time to post a thought here. I thoroughly dig the cocoa notes set forth by this grand black tea. And the length of the steep time does not bitter it up. A great morning tea!
