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%… 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%… 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…
89%… Magnolia Pu・erh ~ Numi 24 Jul 201513 Dec 2015 I don't review as many bagged teas as I used to, but occasionally I do run across something that deserves mention. Although I've only tried a few Numi teas here…
90%… Bamboo Temple Yunnan ~ By the Pound 3 Jul 201530 Jan 2016 I'd like to share my Yelp review for By the Pound I wrote back in 2011, when I knew very little about tea beyond my own experiences (actually, even before…
85%… Golden Dragon ~ TeaVana 30 Jun 201530 Jan 2016 Golden Dragon is TeaVana's first ever Yellow tea. Yellow tea has yet to take off in the West, but more specifically it's basically just too rare to import without an…
91%… Heirloom Yunnan Yellow Buds ~ Upton 29 Jun 201514 Dec 2015 Ostensibly my first real foray into the esoteric world of Yellow tea, I was over-the-moon excited to review today's tea (and I have the hugest smile now that I can…
70%… Nan Nuo Shan Imperial Reserve ~ TeaVana 3 Jun 201530 Jan 2016 There's seriously nothing I enjoy drinking more than a rare aged Pu-erh. I had been saving (more like intentionally forgotten about) this one for a while since Pu-erh is one…
A2 Local… Blood Orange Pu-erh 5 Mar 201520 Dec 2015 Rather than an old favorite tea today (which, despite my best efforts, there simply wasn't time to prepare *sigh*), I thought I'd review a long-time favorite tea house. For a…
A2 Local… Loose Pu’er 2004 24 Feb 201520 Dec 2015 Among the many reasons why Goldfish is my favorite tea house in Michigan, there's the fact that (to my knowledge) they're unique in the state in actually selling their pu-erh…
A2 Local… Dark Heart ~ TranquiliTea 11 Feb 201520 Dec 2015 I've written in the past about how Pu-erh is traditionally sold in tuo-cha, or bird's nest shaped tea cakes. Well today, I'm trying one that's just perfect for February and…
China… Aged Pu-erh Brick 7 Dec 201420 Dec 2015 In the past I've often written about my love for Pu-erh, especially as realized at Royal Oak's Goldfish tea house. To celebrate my impending move home to the country (yeah,…
A2 Local… Organic Ancient Snow Sprout ~ Great Lakes Tea & Spice Co. 12 Nov 201420 Dec 2015 I have mentioned before how much I love Glen Arbor's Great Lakes Tea & Spice Co. and lament the loss of their Bloomfield Hills kiosk, but it doesn't seem like…
China… Emperor’s Pu・erh ~ Numi 25 Sep 201420 Dec 2015 Hi~ Long time no see. I have neglected writing for a while now in that my emotional state was, well... precarious at best of times. I had started a couple…
Black… Excursion: Goldfish – on the cheap 6 Jul 201420 Dec 2015 The oxymoron in the title of this post notwithstanding, I did have a terrific early morning adventure to Royal Oak's Goldfish Tea on Saturday. I'd been to Goldfish once before…
