6768 Tasting Notes
After this cup – I am out of this lovely gem…bummer…
This tastes incredibly smooth today. YUM.
There is a slight juiciness to it and even slighter pine type taste.
What a terrific cuppa!
Better than I remember…this calls for a point increase!
I can’t wait for this one to become available again. It’s high on my list to buy.
Just an FYI, this is also the Mauka Oolong from Tea Hawaii, listed on this site.
If you want it, you can bypass Samovar (sorry Jesse, I still love your tea, honest! D:) And just get it from Eva Lee of Tea Hawaii directly. I bought some from her when I bought some of the Makai Black Sinensis; last I knew, she still had some.
Oooh, thank you sophistre! You have to order by phone with Tea Hawaii, right?
Nope! Actually I ordered via email. Her email address is teahawaii@aol.com. The lady’s name is Eva Lee; I took this from the email I got from her after my inquiry:
‘The 12 gram bags are $10. each with s/h $5.00, up to 6 bags can be
shipped for the $5.00 s/h costs.
Other than the Makai (sinensis) Black I have at the moment the
following:
Forest White
Mauka Oolong
Ola’a Green
All hand made and grown on Hawaii island.
Sold in 12 gram bags for $10. ea.(can serve 4 steepings).’
They can take debit/credit cards, but Visa or Master Card only.
Cool! Thank you so much for the info! :)
Okay, I knew there were teas being grown in Hawaii, but I never knew how to acquire it. This stuff sounds awesomely delicious.
This tisane has been staring at me for at least a week so I finally gave in! Altho it’s a little mistimed I figured I would drink it anyways. Lets just hope the ‘need to cuddle after drinking this tea’ doesn’t kick in while I am still working…that would just be a harassment charge waiting to happen! LOL
I can smell a lot of chamomile which almost scares me. I can see a lot of lavender which almost scares me.
I’m pleased to report that the Rooibos and Cherry Flavoring tone down my fears mentioned above.
I do like this one. I’m a little surprised, actually. This is very pleasant. I wonder what chocolate would taste like with it…hum…
Thanks to LiberTEAS I was able to try this one! :)
This one was a pleasant surprise. It’s sweet and semi-smooth and a tad buttery. I had half of it HOT and half COLD…bother were winners!
This one is like Hu-Kwa’s younger, prettier sister! It’s a great pick-me-up and oh-so-slightly smoky flavor. If you are scared of smoky teas try this one! She’s the girl-next-door!
