96%… Peach White ~ Eli 26 Sep 201525 Sep 2016 (EEK~ I just published my 250th post!) Although Eli calls it Peach White, i kind of want to rename this one "Momotaro Rose". In aroma, Peach White is vociferous of rose…
95%… Shai Qing Beencha 2003 ~ Goldfish 15 Sep 20155 Mar 2017 In my humble opinion, Beencha (AKA beeng or camel bag tea) is what Goldfish does best. But what the hell is camel bag tea, you're probably asking? Beencha is basically the…
93%… Butterfly Long for Flower ~ Goldfish 12 Sep 201531 Jan 2016 Today's tea may have the most bizarre name of anything i've yet reviewed (apart from that one in multiple languages), though it will make sense in a minute. "Butterfly Long…
89%… Seven Angels ~ Great Lakes Tea & Spice Co. 11 Sep 201531 Jan 2016 Today's tea, in addition to being a Display Tea Week entry, is the aforepromised Great Lakes Tea and Spice Co. review. Also it's the first (and probably last) Christian-themed tea…
92%… Wild Lover ~ Goldfish 10 Sep 201531 Jan 2016 Definitely a better named tea than some things I've seen this week. Wild Lover may be the best at unfurling among this week's Display Teas. In aroma, the teapot smells a bit…
89%… Oriental Beauty ~ Goldfish 9 Sep 201531 Jan 2016 On account of the first two being very successfully, I brewed a third Flowering bulb from Goldfish. Unfortunately, this one's just kind of bizarre. I'm not sure what it's supposed…
89%… Golden Sunrise ~ Spice Merchants 8 Sep 201531 Jan 2016 It's been a long while since i reviewed anything from Spice Merchants (or for that matter purchased anything there), but for this week's theme i thought it might be an…
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…
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…
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…
