My friend and I went to Tea Gallerie’s tasting room. They offer “flights” where you can try several different teas before you buy. Scottish caramel pu-erh was hands-down my favorite. The heavenly smell of caramel and butterscotch wafts up from the cup before your first sip. As you drink, you can taste the yummy deep pu-erh flavor but it is tempered by the smoothness of the caramel. I couldn’t stop drinking this one!! So yummy!

Flavors: Butterscotch, Caramel, Malt

I love this one. I got it from Angelina’s Tea. Add some milk and maple syrup and its like Irish cream

Tea Gallerie also had a really nice reserve milk oolong that I liked. I’m so glad I got to try some of their teas. Thanks for the recommendation boychik—that sounds delicious! I did bring some home so will have to try it!

Don’t forget to rinse it first since its puerh. Few secs;)

TeaGirl

Thank you for reminding me. I’ve never had a pu-erh before. Do you rinse it lightly or more than that?

boychik

This one just cover with boil water and 3-5 sec is enough. Don’t worry it’s so strongly flavored, you will not wash it out.

TeaGirl

Sounds good. :) thank you.

I’ve been thinking of buying this from my local tea shop, now I’m sure I should buy it.

I grew up drinking black teas every night before bed because of my Canadian mom (guess I didn’t have trouble with the caffeine lol). She taught me to love black tea. Then when I graduated university I lived in Japan and learned to love green tea. But it is just now that I am branching out into trying new kinds of teas—oolongs and rooibus, herbals etc. because of a trip to Teavana with a friend. I have a lot more to learn about tea and because of Steepster I can see that there are many new teas to enjoy! I’m looking forward to learning and hopefully someday I will be able to talk intelligently about tea—lol please forgive my limited understanding of the tea tasting process at this point! I love reading everyone else’s really cool tea tasting notes! :)
