58 Tasting Notes
This is my first pu-erh tea and I really like it! I’ve been hesitant to try it because i’m not into strong, pungent flavors but this is actually relatively smooth and quite delicious. I’m starting to tread softly into the realm of dark teas and boy is it exciting.
I won’t get into tasting notes, the experience is different for every drinker in my opinion.
Preparation
Definitely one of my favorite teas at the moment. A blend of multiple greens and whites, it combines beautifully with a strong apricot flavor, ensuring a smooth delivery. I’ve had it both iced and hot and it is wonderful either way. It has a naturally sweet flavor with floral undertones.
Flavors: Apricot
Preparation
A very mild black tea. Smooth flavor but enough astringency to remind you that it has a well-deserved home among the black teas. I actually really enjoyed this tea and i’m not a huge black tea fan. The description is well suited.
Flavors: Honey, Malt, Roasted Barley
Preparation
Rare Orchid Oolong is quite the experience. Because of it’s ability to re-steep, this oolong continues surprising long after its first infusion. It is distinctly floral with mentionable sweet undertones. The flavor evolves as it is re-steeped, certainly a great investment for those who like exploratory teas and flavors!
Flavors: Honey, Orchids
Preparation
An intense fusion of quality green tea and tropical fruit flavors. The leaves are beautiful, the dark green contrasting with bright cornflower petals. The smell itself is sweet and carries well. It was sitting on the edge of my desk and the scent continually reminded me it was there!
Preparation
An interesting tea to say the least. Fuzzy silver buds come tumbling out of the package when you first open it, giving way to an herbal scent with sweet undertones.
The flavor is surprisingly mellow, allowing me to agree with the listed tasting notes. The tea sits at a nice green/gold color.
The package suggests a 2.5 min steep, I think a little longer is better for my personal taste, but I like the tea a little stronger.
*A great tea if you’re into this sort of flavor, but I prefer teas with a little more kick. It’s not a bad tea by any means. It tastes similar to a jasmine tea in my opinion.
Flavors: Flowers, Fruit Tree Flowers, Honey
