Oh my. My brother got me a large amount of this tea for my birthday, and I couldn’t wait to try it. Wow. This is amazing—definitely the best Tieguanyin I’ve ever had. It’s smooth, vegetal, floral, and it has a roasted edge. There are so many subtle flavors—and they’re slightly different with each steeping! I’m glad that I dedicated my Yixing teapot to Tieguanyin, since it’s led to my experiencing this amazing tea!

Hi, there! I’m Marcy. I’ve enjoyed tea ever since I was a kid, but only recently (within the past few years) have I really gotten into high quality, loose-leaf tea. Now, all my friends know me as a lover of all kinds of teas, and I’m always happy to share. I try to make tea for people whenever I can.

When I’m not making and drinking tea, I’m usually writing, hiking, building with Lego, or spending time with my wife and kids.

I rarely feel satisfied with giving something a numerical rating, so most of my reviews are listed as simply either “recommended” or “not recommended.” I’m OK with giving ratings to amazing tea and terrible tea, but everything in between just doesn’t seem right, so I usually stay away, and hope that my written reviews will be illuminating enough.

Recently I’ve become a huge fan of Japanese green teas, though a good oolong or pu’er is always welcome.
