OH MY GOD
This is love. It takes just like sticky rice – I was afraid to be disappointed.
This is an awesome tea, I shall definitely need more of it some time.

Honey Orchid Black from Golden Moon Tea
84

I got tea samples from Rachel C, that I bought through Teatrade!! I was excited to try this one since everyone has enjoyed it so far.
This is a delightful tea! As I’ve said thousands of times before, I’m not a black tea drinker, but this is yummy. I can’t believe there’s no flavoring in it =P

Sweet Dew Gan Lu from Tea Trekker

Wow, 2nd time drinking and this has really grown on me!! It’s so naturally sweet and the flavor is quite complex. I keep wanting more!

Moroccan Mint from Jing Tea
Shui Xian Oolong from Tea Trekker
86

A wonderful Shui Xian. The leaves are so large and beautiful too! It wasn’t as strong in the 2nd steep, but dude, this is a great price! ($15 for 4oz) I convinced my dad to buy this when my parents visited this weekend – he’s mainly a black tea drinker so I thought maybe this would open him up to the wonderful world of oolongs!

ZG30: Special Grade Temple of Heaven Gunpowder Green from Upton Tea Imports
88

Awesome green tea – nice and smokey, just like the name, haha! It’s very full-bodied; I would recommend this to anyone who wants to forage into green teas (like me).

Blue Moose Blueberry Tea from The Colonial Cupboard

Ah, had this tea at the B&B my parents stayed at. There was tea everywhere!!! I finally decided on this one (and a maple tea but I havent been able to find it anywhere on the internet, and I dont remember what it was called).

Just Peachy from Compass Teas

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)
