I have wanted to try a Tai Ping tea for a long time!

The leaves are HUGE and flat. Since I don’t subscribe to the gadgetry concept and don’t use any of those new fangled scales :) I eyeballed the amount I put into my smart brewer.

I must have done well with my measuring because the flavor is rich, vegetative, buttery, nutty, and just plain AWESOME. I’m liking it a lot! A very smooth taste but with a nice mouthfeel. The mouthfeel is a little thicker than a Dragonwell, but not quite as thick as a green Oolong. Pleasant!

A very strong buttery taste, and a nice nutty quality to it.

Ah… I love this tea!

I do love Tai Ping. This is incredibly smooth, the vegetative taste is very slight, and it has a lovely nutty sweetness to it. Very pleasant, light, and soothing. Very nice.

Yum! It’s been a while since I’ve had this… it’s so good.

Very smooth. Light! It is one of those teas that disappears from my cup before I can finish writing about it!
