91%… Three Flower Burst Tea ~ Eli 7 Sep 201531 Jan 2016 Eli's contribution to our Display Tea Week is a little more complex. It's a three flower tea consisting of Jasmine, Osmanthus and Lily. I love lily, but it doesn't tend to…
93%… Black Peony ~ Art of Tea 5 Sep 201531 Jan 2016 One style of tea I have yet to address on this blog is Display Tea. Although not all Display Teas are Flowering/Blooming Teas, these make up vast majority of ones that…
90%… White Peony ~ Eli 3 Sep 201531 Jan 2016 Pai Mutan is more or less the most popular (most produced) style of White tea. It's woody/twigginess often combines with a furry Tipped White to create a vibrant if subtle…
92%… Bao Zhong High Grade ~ Art of Tea 2 Sep 201531 Jan 2016 As you probably know by now, I don't review many Oolongs. Oolongs are more or less pure poison to the IBS sufferer. Oxidized tea=very disgruntled bowels. ^^;; However, today I am…
79%… Pure Long Leaf Black ~ Lipton 1 Sep 201531 Jan 2016 Yes, today's blog is more or less a comedy sketch. It randomly occurred to me that it might be highly amusing to take the worst tea i could find and…
Herbal… Tropical “Tea” ~ Ellis Island 31 Aug 201531 Jan 2016 After yesterday's behemoth of a blog, you'll forgive me if i cut this one a bit shorter... While there's a few weeks of warmth remaining, i'd like to review one…
93%… Ying Ming Yunnan Extra Fancy ~ By the Pound 29 Aug 201531 Jan 2016 Someone managed to beat me to reviewing this tea. I did. >.> Years ago, back before i knew what i was doing, i reviewed it on Steepster. I kind of…
91%… Five Peaks Green Dew ~ Arbor Teas 26 Aug 201531 Jan 2016 I admit it: i had almost forgotten Arbor Teas existed it had been so long since I had sampled anything from them. Sixteen or so ish months ago i reviewed…
92%… Dragonwell (Lung Ching) ~ TeaVana 25 Aug 201531 Jan 2016 The last tea i have from my Forbidden Kingdom gift set (i somehow misplaced Monkey Picked Oolong or tossed it out for some silly reason) is Dragonwell (Lung Ching). Dragonwell has sometimes been…
Green… Anata no Macchairi Ocha ~ Sangaria 24 Aug 201531 Jan 2016 A year or more ago i reviewed some bottled Japanese iced teas (since they're my favorite style of iced tea don'cha'know), and today i'm going to add to that slowly…
93%… Huo Shan Huang Ya ~ Upton 21 Aug 201531 Jan 2016 One thing that's particularly driving me crazy at the moment is the inconsistent and contradictory names for Chinese pluck styles. Some experts use "mao jian" to refer to anything bud-and-one-leaf…
95%… Lapsang Souchong ~ Eli 20 Aug 201531 Jan 2016 For the longest time I've avoided writing about Lapsang Souchong. Although very popular in some places, Lapsang Souchong isn't really my cup of tea. I do enjoy the smokiness and…
91%… Caramel Pu-erh ~ ChocolaTea 19 Aug 201531 Jan 2016 Surprisingly, I still have a handful of teas from ChocolaTea in Kalamazoo, which i visited over two and a half years ago. That's usually the very last cut-off date for…
China… Trả Xanh (Yin Hao) ~ Tian Hu Shan (or the trials of Chinese market tea shopping) 18 Aug 201513 Dec 2015 Before you waste your time, today's post is more or less a shaggy dog... ;) You don't need to worry if you can't read this blog's title. I can't either…
