715 Tasting Notes

Bai Lin Gong Fu from JK Tea Shop
92

This was an amazing golden monkey. Too bad I can’t figure out if it’s on their website or not =( =( (it was a free sample!)

Xue Lan Xiang (Snow Orchid) Dan Cong Oolong 2009 from Seven Cups
91
Nuit à Versailles from Dammann Freres
82

Tastes like a typical flavored green tea. It was very pleasant, but not anything totally different from what I’ve had before. I wouldn’t go out of my way to buy this from France =P

Mango Green Tea from Bar Harbor Tea Company
86

I only have a teeny bit more left =( I’ll have to order more.. This tastes a lot better than other flavored green teas I’ve had. More memorable.

Lychee Blossom from Imperial Tea Court
75

Thanks Batrachoid!
This was an OK tea, I think I will save the 2nd one to impress people lol.

Man Tang Xiang from Tea Trekker

Jin Yao Shi from jing tea shop
Royal Phoenix Oolong from The Tao of Tea
88

Personally I like this better than Jing Tea Shop’s Mi Lan Dan Cong. Maybe they’re not exactly the same kind of tea though. This one had a lot more flavor!

Rainforest Strong Green Tea from The Tao of Tea
Mayan Chocolate Chai from 52teas
83

This was super spicy =) It was a lot more toned down the second time. Maybe I didnt eat enough that morning but this really got me twitchy on caffeine — more than usual from tea.

Alishan Jin Xuan Taiwan Oolong 2008 from Seven Cups
Mo Gan Huang Ya (Yellow tea) Yellow Tea (Organic) 2009 from Seven Cups
88
Sun Kissed Jasmine from Joy's Teaspoon

Xue Lan Xiang (Snow Orchid) Dan Cong Oolong 2009 from Seven Cups
91
Mo Gan Huang Ya (Yellow tea) Yellow Tea (Organic) 2009 from Seven Cups
88

First yellow tea ever!
I definitely enjoyed it. It was super drinkable – it went away fast XD
It reminded me a bit of my Sweet Dew Gan Lu green tea but with less astringency.

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)

Upland, CA / Rockville, MD
