I’m really behind my notes, but Wang Family Tea Sent some Ginger Sun Moon Lake Teabags in the last order. Sooooo smooth. I deeply enjoyed the bag and kept coming back. My mom accidentally threw it away too early. I’m surprised I couldn’t find the bags on the main site because I’d be tempted to buy some. Either way, I appreciated it with the order.
I got more of the Shanlinxi Jasmine and the Competition Light Roast Lishan Oolong. It’s good and complex. I will have to do an individual note on it for depth. It’s a lot like the Zealong Aroma in its balance of roast and greenness, and on the lighter end. I wouldn’t drink it super often and kinda wish I got the Gui Fei competition instead, but I definitely don’t regret trying it or the tin I received.

Sounds like an interesting tea! I just tried their Sun Moon Lake and thought it was nice and very minty, though I didn’t buy more because Red Jade just doesn’t do it for me as much as other Taiwanese black teas. I recently bought their Award Winning Shan Cha, Award Winning Dong Fang Mei Ren (could have been a mistake), 50 g of their white tea, and the Fushoushan and SLX Wild Garden. I probably should have gone with the Qilai Shan instead of the DFMR, but that’s hindsight.
I’ll keep some of mine for swap because I was tempted by the Shan Cha if I had not blown my budget this year. I tend to avoid Red Jades’ because the caffeine and mintyness tend to be much for me, but this particular blend was just smooth and malty with the ginger.
Thanks! That tea would be fun to try! Their regular Shan Cha has nice apricot and rose notes, though it’s also a bit raisiny and can be astringent when using their recommended steeping parameters starting at 40 seconds. I hope their competition Shan Cha will be smoother.
