I’m enjoying this to say the least. A beautiful tea. Very strong and bracing.

I cold brewed the Buddhas tea in the Mason jar. I was generous in the amount of tea I used. Compared to my other tasting this one was much better. Once again, especially with greens and oolongs, I believe this preparation allows me to taste the true flavor of the tea. It was a pale liquid that was bursting with flavor. Absolutely sublime.

This is my first tasting of a rose scented tea. I enjoy it. It’s uplifting. As I stated in my profile, I do not particularly care for scented teas. I love the aroma. It’s so different and a welcome change of pace. This was another sample from Upton that I will defintely buy. Thanks JM for the suggestion. PS, the price is right….

The first cup moistens my lips… The second cup breaks my lonliness The third cup searches my barren entrail The fourth cup raises a slight perspiration The fifth cup purifies me The sixth cup calls me to the realm of the immortals The seventh… I can take no more.

I was just given this tea from a friend who went to Flushing, NY. It appears to be heavy roasted and my tea doesn’t fit the flavor profile. I’m getting a darker liquid with fruits such as peaches and oranges. I’m enjoying it to say the least. Luscious

I just received this in the mail. A beautiful aroma in the dry leaves. A beautiful aroma when brewed for the suggested 3 minutes. I brewed it in the 1 cup Yixing. A very delicate flavor. I will add more leaves in my next brew. I like the Dragonhouse Tea website. It’s the Disneyland for tea lovers like myself. I must add this lovely tea has elevated my mood. Ye Gods….

I can only describe it as being very lite in flavor and aroma which is as far as I know most Pre-Chingmings are. I have enough left of my sample to reevaluate….

Another of my samples from Upton. When I smelled the dry leave I thought I was going to be in heaven. A beautiful aroma. Maybe I steeped it too long. I will have to retaste tomorrow. Very vegetal. I fell in love with the Lung Ching Superfine in yesterdays tasting.
