Kawaii433 drank Nonpareil Wudong Ya Shi Xiang Phoenix Dan Cong Oolong Tea by Teavivre

379 tasting notes

Aromatic, flowery, fruity perhaps nectar flavor, sweetness, a nice smell of the milk fragrance, pleasant mouthfeel, slightly sharp in the earlier infusions although not overbearing, has a slight mineral taste. It’s complex & probably far more complex than my ability to decipher it lol. Earlier infusions gave a sweet aftertaste. About the 6th or 7th infusion, it became a little bitter. It has a long finish . I got a sample and it’s expensive $27.90/50g so, after my sample, I probably won’t buy it again. Having said that, it’s an all-day tea in that it’s good for many infusions. I’m on the 11th infusion and it’s still going strong.

Bio

Longtime casual tea drinker. In the past, mainly Matcha, Gyokuro, Sencha, Genmaicha… Etc. I like all teas: Green, oolong, black & pu’erh (prefer ripe over raw).

Chanoyu (for matcha prep) and Gongfu cha (for other types of tea) are the main ways I prepare my tea (Gaiwan, Yixing teapot, Kyusu). I drink all tea… Usually unflavored. This past year, I’ve tried many flavored now because of all of you lol. As long as there aren’t artificial sweeteners, it’s all good.

Favorite stores: TeaVivre, What-Cha, Mandala Tea, 52Teas, Whispering Pines, Bird & Blend, Yunnan sourcing, White2Tea, Lupicia.

The flavors I dislike: Artificial sweetener, lavender, violet, any strong floral-perfumey tea; cantaloupe, papaya, honeydew, rose, licorice, anise, jasmine, any mints, leather.

Favorite flavors: Citrus fruits (especially grapefruit & tangerines), granny smith apple, bananas, guava, mango, tamarind, watermelon, stonefruits, chocolate, caramel, vanilla, milk, cinnamon, creme, bread/pastry, nuts, toasted, roasted.

I generally don’t add anything to my teas unless they are flavored, then I may add a splash of milk.

As I explore, my ratings may shift. 90+ generally means I’ll keep it on my shelf.
