This note is for my custom, Florida-grown tea by Single Origin Teas
First of all, I ordered a green tea, using the bud and the first leaf and with a soft rolling.
Forget Florida for a minute. Transport your mind to China, to Zhejiang Province, to the village of Longjing. Taste the longjing tea, the buttery, hazelnut-y liquor, perfect in every way.
Now, open your eyes. What’s that? It’s a tea from Florida and not longjing? I couldn’t tell the difference. Seriously. That’s how good this is. I felt like I was drinking some really good dragonwell tea, not something that was handmade for me.
Thank you, James for this experience.. If I could order an ounce or two, please let me know.
91/100
Flavors: Butter, Hazelnut

Thanks for reviewing! I was curious about this opportunity.
I was honestly shocked at the taste and quality, Nichole. Obviously the tea, itself, isn’t worth the price, but helping James being able to mass produce and hopefully get this tea into more hands is definitely worth it :)
Awesome. I was intrigued by this when I saw the post. I’ll have to keep it in mind.
That’s awesome! I should do a note for my black tea from him.
Thanks! I’ve been away on holiday (visiting all the tea shops in San Fran and Berkeley), thank you so much for your kind words! It got a hot wok (and by wok I mean frying pan) finish, so that may help to explain some of the tasting experience!
