I have to agree with everything said by derk.

Wonderful easydrinking tea, with fruity notes with little (if some) bitterness.

Grandpa, 3 grams for 350 ml of water.

Nice oolong (and my first roasted). I really had promised pear notes; roasted and smooth taste – maybe bit of liquorce or genmaicha?

I like its smooth taste, no astringency; bit sweet as well.

Another review of same tea; just prepared it gong fu, 3 grams for 85 ml of water. Mulitple steepings, each for 30-40 seconds.

And it´s completely different! Finally I got jam notes, with slight of malt. Then malt is becoming stronger and jam weaker. Weaker jam – stronger citrus fruits after taste and smell.

Wonderful and complex tea!

P.S.: It has got probably good amount of caffeine – it woke me up a lot.

Gong fu, 2.5 grams, 85 ml of +- 75 °C water. Multiple steepings, each about 40 seconds.

Colour of tea is nice green to yellow, with golden reflection, leaves are indeed bit more purple than usual.

In scent I think it´s hay and bit of cut grass (interesting), later more and more sweet.
In taste it was sweeter than I have expected and smooth on my palate. Good though, but not phenomenal. I am bit disappointed.

Western style, 3 grams in strainer, 4 minutes in boiling water.

Dry tea smells very nice, lots of “tea smell”, bit of malt.
When brewed, bit of fruit tones appear, mostly I think it is orange and tangerine aromas, later more malty.

In flavour it is mostly malt tea with slight of oranges.

In colour it´s mostly brown-orange, clear and nice.

Smooth and nice malt black tea, I can suggest it to everyone. I didn´t notice jam notes.

Well, first few steeps were awfully bitter and astringent. It even made my mouth dry. Weird feeling. With more and more steeps it went more floral, but smell remains dry. Bit of hay. This applies to both – taste and smell.

Colour was nice though, green with yellow notes. Clear.

Probably I am not fan of it, or my taste buds aren´t ready for “better” teas yet. Too bitter for me.

Prepared western style with one teaspoon of tea with boiling water.

Well, this is a wonderful Darjeeling I can say. Easy to drink, with notes of caramel and butterscotch. In aroma I smelled also butter biscuits and malt. Colour of infusion was dark brown and/or mahagony, leaves were quite big and not dusty at all. Their colur was different hues of brown from quite light to dark ones.

Prepared grandpa style – but I have tried gaiwan and western style too.

Easydrinking oolong with sweet and slight fresh fruits taste, in scents I smelled stone fruits and flowers. Well worth its price tag I guess.

Not very complex, but who needs that for simple tea?

My first ripe pu-erh and a tasting note here.

I took three grams and put it into my gaiwan; used almost boiling water. After maybe rather long steep, I have poured it to glass. I smelt burnt and sweet. In taste same, but some caramel notes appear. Pleasant tea and I can imagine it for easy (everyday) drinking!
