Basically peach Oolong :)

TU’s description is pretty bang on the money, lychee, peach, nuts & pie crust aroma, with a taste of peach and thick mouth. This isnt the thickest I have had though, I actually thought it a bit light – butttttt this is no bad thing – it doesnt have so strong a weird taste you can get when pushing oily dan cong, this just has peach & nuts flavour with floral lushness on top of that

its weird but this tea makes me think of ‘soapy’ but doesnt taste of soap – conjures up images of glossy pearlescent things like soap can be. So good!

Im on steep 9 and its beginning to lose its thickness but still such a lovely aroma and nutty floralness I just had to write this review.

and also bravo for the sample prices which are basically the same percentage as buying large amounts. A good policy and one which means I will definitely be trying more of their tea.

Flavors: Floral, Lychee, Nutty, Pastries, Peach

You didn’t miss any time digging into the box.

I got impatient

I’m drinking the Yiwu Snake right now, but I think it needed more time to rest from the trip.

I felt the same about the Snake Dr Jim. It didn’t hit me like it should. Nice leaf though.

Yes the Snake Blend is one of my safety valve teas: when I get tired of drinking teas that I am not enjoying I go for one of these safety valve teas to release the pressure builty by not sipping a good tea.

i jumped the gun a bit and tried the peacock, its similar and I get a milky body. I think I really like Yiwu tea from what I have tasted.

I am going to buy a whole cake of both of them I think

Rui A.

I still have to try the Peacock tea. So much tea so little time in a day to sip it.

Rasseru

yeah its weird how you might say rounded body, but there is definitely a few characteristics that my brain picks up on in milk that these yiwu teas have so my brain thinks milk. could taste it straightaway, like hot milk. I want to investigate more blends as I have enjoyed every one I have tasted

Basically loads of Fenghuang, jade oolong & sheng puerh.

90+ is godly

80-90 is something i would buy again.

60-80 ok, but probably more bland or basic in their flavour.

0-60 something tastes wrong with this one.
