Digging through my tea stash and finding things that I forgot I had!

This is the 2015 version of this, it’s a little bit different than the one I’d had before, but still delicious. Super chocolaty, I think the most chocolaty I’ve had other than Verdant’s Laoshan Black. I remember the last harvest being more like milk chocolate; this one is more dark chocolaty. Nice honey sweetness, wheaty malt, and just a touch of a floral note. It reminds me of a pastry that they used to have at Panera Bread, a dark chocolate and honey croissant. It’s really tasty and I’m glad I found this.

Ming Ming has expanded and opened up a sushi shop, which, while an odd combination with Chinese tea shop, seems to be bringing in quite a bit of business. The sushi is fairly good and very decently priced. I really hope that they don’t stop selling tea, but I doubt that would happen as the husband/owner is a big tea aficionado.

Bio

Tea addict since around 2011.

My favorites are pu’erhs, blacks/reds, and roasted oolongs, but I have a growing interest in good whites, and sometimes enjoy greens.

Currently trying to get an education, working a part time job, expand my ceramics/pottery skills, and trying to make the best of existential crisis.

Other than tea I love the outdoors, ceramics, guitar, and diy/building things.

I started a tea blog in February 2018, though admittedly I haven’t updated it much lately.

When I give a tea a numerical rating it’s simply meant to reflect a balance of how well I enjoyed the tea and how it compares to others of the same style. I don’t follow any universal rating criteria, and my ratings are mainly meant for my own use, to remember what I though of a tea and if I want to repurchase.
