Teahouse Kuan Yin

This is unlike any Yunnan I have ever tried! I like it when teas are different! It’s roasty and toasty but also smells like a manly cologne almost. It tastes sweet and creamy and there is a toasty earthiness to the taste too!

Altho it’s been YEARS since I have had Marshmellows (I’m a vegetarian and they are NOT vegetarian) – from what I remember of the actual taste of them and by what I read in the company’s description of the roasted marshmellow notes – I guess I can side with that description as well…I can sort of see what they are saying there.

This is a pretty good one! Sooooo glad I was able to try it!

Tastes like mint tea, more or less.

Teahouse Kuan Yin identifies this tea as a green tea, but it looks and tastes like a white tea, with the delicate white hairs typical of other white teas. It is a nice, refreshing and delicate tea, good to start the day with.

This tea is quite smooth. It smelled almost caramel-y while brewing.

What can I say about Ginseng Oolong? Great alternative to coffee when you need a break- great synergy with coffee, as well, cause it keeps the shakes away.

Not to mention that a little of this before any night on the town drinking will stave off hangovers.

Usually get 7 infusions, which leads me to keep infusion 1, 3, 5 and 7 set aside in a jug for the fridge for ice tea, while I drink 2, 4, 6.

Not to mention 7 soaks with some flying saucers mixed in makes a great Saturday night…

Perfect “before bed time” tea.

Roommate’s X gave me this tea and when I was in seattle I visited Teahouse Kuan Yin. Fantastic herbal blend… and I don’t usually like herbal.

This is my third morning in a row with this tea. I had to leave my desk during the 2nd steeping and it sat there for over 10 minutes, and it didn’t get overly bitter at all. I even got a 3rd steeping after that.
