I think I’ve had this tea for over 2 years now. Definitely less fresh than it was before. =/ But still nice. All those years in my unair-conditioned dorm room probably weren’t so nice to it >_<

Buddha's Tea - Jiu Hua Shan Fo Cha from Tea Trekker
Premium Shui Xian (Narcissus) Organic Rock Wulong 2011 from Seven Cups
Golden Lily (Jin Xuan) Milk Oolong from Asha Tea House
Huang Guan Yin - 2011 Spring Wuyi Oolong Tea from Norbu Tea

Brandy Oolong from Zhi Tea

This is one of Zhi’s new reserve teas (special & limited quantity). I was wondering what it would taste like – Oriental Beauty? Wu Yi? More like the former. A bit too much black tea-ish for my taste but I still like it. Ill have to try different steeping times next time.

This is still the best Taiwan oolong I’ve ever tried, and I’ve had quite a few ;) I just love the smell of this when opening the bag! So fresh!

Medium roasting – not too strong to overpower the flavor of the tea, but enough to get the added Wu Yi smokiness. Very strong smell of cinnamon =)

Winter Mao Xie Oolong Tea from jing tea shop

Toasted Fig from American Tea Room

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
