Kawaii433 drank Ripe Pu'er Mini-Tuocha Variety Package by Mandala Tea

379 tasting notes

10 mini-touchas in the 2 oz bag. I can match 3 or 4 with some on their site but not the others so I have no idea what I’m drinking hehe. I’ve sampled 3 of them so far and so far they are all good ripe pu’er. I wouldn’t mind having a bag of this around all the time because of the ease of it. I just have to pop one in my gaiwan. I’ve tried a variety mini-toucha bag from eBay once and they weren’t of good quality at all. I just wish it came with a way to identify them so I know which one I can buy more of it if it’s a favorite.

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.
