This is like the wuyi of Japanese tea. Super duper toasty! There was also quite a bit of creaminess to it, which surprised me.

This is the first tea I tried from my $3 starter box from Den’s.
And.. I am definitely buying from them again =D
This tea was highly enjoyable!! Why do I seem to like Japanese greens more than Chinese..? I swear I have no bias even though I’ve been studying the language for 3 years!

And this is why I like oolong.
Thanks Meghann!!!!!

It wasn’t great this time, there was hardly any flavor =( I remember really enjoying it! Maybe I didn’t store it well, for a while I just had it in a stapled bag. I guess I’ll have to bump the rating down a bit.

This is one of the weirdest smelling things I have smelled (that smelled good). I don’t even know what it was that I was smelling. This is nice and spicy, though without sweetener it didn’t taste as good.

I finally made my way over to Tea Trekker! (which involved falling waist deep into a snow bank)
I mean, how likely is it that there is an expert tea store in your town?? They go to China to buy all the teas!
I spoke with Bob about the teas I like (Da Hong Pao, Shui Xian, Tie Kwan Yin, Taiwan oolongs, but not Bai Hao, black, or white teas so much). I really have been wanting to get into green teas, so Bob recommended me this as a good transition from oolong to green.
I really like this tea – it is strong like an oolong but you can really taste the differences. This is great, and it tastes so fresh! It’s slightly bitter/astringent, but I actually kind of like it – it’s something that will probably grow on me (unlike astringent oolongs!!)

Wow, I’m really impressed. I’ve never had a rooibos tea before that really surprised me, until this one! It’s spicy and coconutty and I love it!! I’m glad to see that they still sell it on their website.. I need more of this!
Thanks Meghann!

This is a nice, somewhat typical fruity blend of tea. The oolong base isn’t as good as others I’ve had, but the tea is still enjoyable.

I picked this tea because I needed like 4 more dollars for free shipping – and I’m glad I did. I always think I’m not going to like orange flavored things but this was fantastic. It’s dessert tea!

Wow, this is the 2nd lupicia tea I’ve had and I can just say this… their oolongs are SUPER AWESOME. I mean, this is like top quality here. I barely even taste the tangerine – I could just drink this as a green oolong. =O! I need to buy more of their teas, me liking oolong and all…
Thanks Meghann!!

I’m not a huge green tea drinker but I really do want to learn more about them. This was an enjoyable tea but not really that memorable.

I knew I needed to add a mango tea to my permanent collection! My bar harbor tea company one is running a little low.
This tastes very similar, I am happy to say! The green tea base is excellent for the flavor – the taste is smooth and buttery. This is also similar to American Tea Room’s Immortal Green, which I might have misplaced?!
