Genmaicha from Green Hill Tea

Thanks ToiToi for this sample!
I was surprised at the rice to tea ratio of this genmaicha – definitely more rice than I’ve seen before. It turned out more rice-y flavored too!

Tung Ting Aged 27 Years from Tea Trekker

I saw this on Tea Trekker and had to order it. Especially since I was eyeing this tea and 1 other (a dancong grown ali-shan style!), and the other went out of stock. It was like man, I need to buy this one before it disappears too!
Very nice rich and creamy flavor. Definitely still tastes like dong ding, but with extra depth.

High Mountain Tong Tian Xiang Oolong from Verdant Tea (Special)
Gardens of Anxi from Verdant Tea

I was super surprised by this! When I saw the flowers I was expecting something really flavored, but its not! It tastes so natural you really wouldn’t guess that it’s “augmented”

Organic Echinacea Plus from Traditional Medicinals

I was afraid this one was going to taste gross, but it turned out quite pleasant!

Jingdong Wuliang Snow Orchid from Tea Trekker
Shan Lin Shi from Naivetea
Laoshan Black Chocolate Genmaicha from Verdant Tea

Black Currant Matcha from Red Leaf Tea

Like this better than the fig, actually!
Thanks Dinosara!

Mi Lan Xiang Phoenix Mountain Dancong from Verdant Tea
Matcha Kirara Rice from Lupicia

Profile

Bio

My favorite teas are high mountain, Wuyi, and dancong oolongs. I also need my deep steamed sencha every now and then. I’m not totally into flavoreds but I’m always up for interesting flavors (like ATR’s Nirvana and Toasted Fig). My favorite natural flavors are roasted and floral.

I have a BA in Biochemistry from Smith College with a minor in Japanese
Currently attending KGI (Keck Graduate Institute) for a Master of Bioscience

I love J-R&B and J-Urban and used to do a radio show on WOZQ Northampton, MA
I play both WoW (Airine on Executus) and LoL (Airine)

Location

Upland, CA / Rockville, MD
