31 Tasting Notes
Yum, I’m starting to realize that I really like green oolongs and this one is no exception. Light and floral, with a bit of fruity sweetness, and a surprising underlying darker spice as some others have mentioned. This was really enjoyable for me. Thanks Tea from Taiwan for the sample!
Thanks Sare for sending me a sample of this! When I first tasted it, I was a little disappointed. It didn’t really taste chocolatey or malty or really like anything at all, but it has gotten such good reviews here that I didn’t want to give up yet. I decided to add a little bit of sugar, which is something I never do, but it seriously made a huge difference. The chocolate was much more prominent. Yum.
Can’t believe I forgot to leave reviews for the samples Zen Tea was kind enough to send. Just finished the last of my sample for this tea tonight. Its incredibly delicious, sweet and nutty, and the white base is excellent. Definitely going on my must purchase list.
Thank you Pekko Teas for this huge sample!! I’m really happy I got this tea since its something I would never pick out on my own. I have very limited experience with Pu-erh and I’m still not used to the taste, but it’s starting to grow on me. This tea is very woodsy. The oak took the forefront in terms of flavor for me. I’m really liking it. It’s making me really want to go camping. Too bad the weather here just dropped to 30 degrees…
I only got to do two steeps of this and I know that Pu-erhs change with steeps so I’m looking forward to trying it again and seeing how it transforms.
Thanks Kallieboo for this sample! This smelled so good and sounded so intriguing, I had to try this sample first. I really like it. It’s definitely a very dry, smokey tea with a subtle plum after taste. I wish there was a little more plum flavor but it’s still enjoyable and very different from anything I’ve ever tried. I still have enough for one more cup so I will play with the temp/time and see what happens.
Wow. I’m completely blown away by this tea. It’s like the liquid form of a cool eerie fall morning. Not to mention that the weather outside right now is overcast and misty. The combination of which is perfectly haunting. I’m seriously loving it.
