1113 Tasting Notes
Smokey and smooooooooth. Thank you Boychik!
Zero bitterness and astringency. Not much going on here beyond the smoke though. I think I might prefer it with a touch of maple. I have none of that here at work though so I’ll have to try it that way at home some time :)
PURE HEAVEN! Thank you so much Terri HarpLady for letting me try it.
I’m pretty sure this is last year’s, because I just checked on the website and it seems that this year’s harvest is in pre-order mode right now. It is taking all of my willpower not to order some RIGHT NOW. I have a full ounce of summer harvest Laoshan green from last year I haven’t even opened yet…must be strong. This is top notch though. SO SO GOOD! Everything I love about Laoshan green but even more concentrated :)
Delicious! Thank you Boychik!
So bold, yet not too astringent or bitter in any way.
I’ve been so impressed with all of the Damn Fine teas so far. It seems you really can’t go wrong with them! Not sure which has been my favorite so far…maybe the Spring Keemun.
Oh I’m do glad you like them. I’m very happy with A&D. I’d say I drank Caravan the most. Just ordered a new tin;)
Yum yum yum, thank you Boychik
Sorry I am not feeling super verbose today. I am at Real Job but still recovering from all day outdoor vendor fair yesterday selling my fine art. WHEW SO TIRED!
Good shu helps, though :)
Sales were so-so. My first time at this event. Made $100 after booth fees and whatnot. You can never tell what the crowd is after at these mixed events…there were crafts, art, and vintage stuff. Seems like vintage and crafts tended to do a little better. I need to seek out more all fine art related events! I could make a lot more money if I could do out of town shows, probably. Only so much of a market in this small midwest city.
Yeah, TeaBrat I made this for Stacy’s tea art contest in the fall http://twitpic.com/dgw0vg
I blog my printmaking at littlelemonpress.com and sell on etsy at evilducky77.etsy.com :)
Nice TeaBrat! I miss the printmaking press I got to use in college. I can’t afford a big press. My college days were over 10 years ago. Time flies!!!! Now I work graphic design full time.
Marzipan check out www.evilducky77.etsy.com
I don’t get many online sales though. Mostly just use it as a portfolio of sorts.
My first tea from Whispering Pines Thanks so much Boychik!!!
I can see why everyone is raving about this one. Strong cocoa and fruity notes make this one very appealing. Bold and malty and rich! Nom nom nom…perfect for breakfast, or in my case for an afternoon pick-me-up!
:D
I really was surprised by this one. Everyone said great things about it, but it really, truly reminded me of the tasting notes from their website.
This is a lovely sweet and woody sheng. Lots of pleasant tongue tingling twang. Yiwu shengs seem to be pretty consistently tasty, huh?
Thanks a bunch, Terri
Happy Friday everyone!
what temps and how long were your steeps?
Probably 180ish and a couple minute long steep. I will try again at home with more controlled parameters!
i would increase to 200F and shorter steeps
Yeah, you’re totally right.
