Ten Year Aged Tieguanyin (Light Oxidation) from Verdant Tea (Special)
Master Bi's Jin Guan Yin Wuyi Oolong from Verdant Tea (Special)
Royal Courtesan from Zhi Tea

Looks like this is a very different tea than the one I had a few years ago =/ More roasted, less delicate.
This is the thing I dont like about most tea shops.. they dont sell teas based on harvest or farmer.

Truly awesome tea – so aromatic and robust. Took a while for me to truly appreciate it =)

Finally decided to give this guy a rating. Reminds me why I love Wu Yis!

Zealong Dark from Chicago Tea Garden

Goooone! I bought this like over a year ago from Rachel on Teatra.de. It looks like it might be being sold at another vendor since CTG closed. It only got through about 5-6 steeps before it lost its zazz.

Aged Bamboo Oolong 1990 from Zhi Tea

Still figuring out how to correctly steep this one. The first time I had it I think my steeps were too short and sort of boring – plus I think I used my gaiwan instead of yixing. This time in the yixing with longer steeps was much better =) There are many flavors in this tea, so still discovering something new each steep!

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
