Finished the last of the steeps this morning, from our brew last night. The best Pu-erh I’ve had yet. Extremely smooth and flavorful. Almost chocolatey. Yum.

Continued the steep in a Gaiwan from yesterday.. Running on the 7th or 8th steep. Very nice dark roasted flavors. Going to need a fresh batch soon.

Extremely aromatic and so so fresh and green. A winning Oolong from spring.

Just made a Matcha Rice Milk and Banana Smoothie. I also put a little vanilla protein powder in there. Very good and recharging.

Very clean nose. Reminds me of the fresh smell of rain. Refreshing taste. Extremely enjoyable.

WOW! The smell of this is like freshly cut grass without the allergic reaction! Great smooth taste too. Steeped this for about 20 seconds in below boiling water. I think a lower temp water with a longer steep would make it even better.

Sencha day. I feel meh about this one today. Perhaps because it’s up against the Sencha shot I had.

Everytime I drink this, it gets better and better. Soooo good.

This tea is beautiful. It’s so soft, seriously. These little hand rolled balls of tea feel like clouds. I rinsed the balls before steeping, letting the Jasmine fragrance fill my nose. I steep this for about a minute. The smell is very very strong. But suprisingly the taste isn’t as strong as the smell. It’s still Jasmine-y but the mild taste of green tea seeps through. I wouldn’t buy this tea to drink on a regular basis. It’s alright. I am curious to try more varieties of this tea tho. Just the pure artistry has my interest.

I found some in my stash at work today. I can finally wake up! This is by far my favorite Earl Grey. I think I enjoy it better than Samovar’s pot of gold. I don’t drink a ton of black tea, but when I do, I definitely prefer Earl Grey. As my co-worker says, it’s very “minty” on the nose. Yum.
