So I bought Kevin rose’s ‘tea starter kit’ from samovar lfe teas in San Francisco. It includes a green, a black and a pu’er. The green is an interesting Japanese selection that has puffed brown rice in it. Endlessly complex, I’ve never had anthing like it.

Just drank a cup of this. Steeped for about 3 minutes but woke the leaves up previously. Great tea! I may steep longer next time to really get the taste. Overall, great tea.

I’m not the biggest fan of brown rice teas. But when I can across this unique sencha/brown rice tossed with matcha blend, I knew I’d instantly enjoy this. Made it a little on the weak side this morning, as I was rushing to get to work as always. I did manage to enjoy my 25 second steep with Brandon in bed tho. Felt like I had been up for hours on my way to work. I’m very particular with what tools I use to steep this tea, so it makes it rather difficult to enjoy it at work. What to drink now…

A little bit less sweet than at Samovar since I didn’t had the sirup to add. Will try with sugar next time.

I don’t think I like this Tea. I keep trying again and again, and it’s a very complex Tea in my opinion. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I don’t. I think the thing I don’t really like is the rice added to it, but I think I would like a Matcha tea itself. I will keep trying.

Way to grassy/rice-y for me. Never again.

Second steeping. Let it go 10+ minutes. A bit of sweetness came out. Very nice.

I love this Pu-erh, delicious. I like to set my leaves into a teapot and pour the water over them so they can fully expand inside without any infusers. (I do use a strainer of course while pouring) I love this method!

One of my favorite Oolongs from Samovar. Brandon made this for me this morning, it was the last of our stash. Very full bodied tea, floral nose with a buttery finish on the tongue. 2 pots of this helped put that extra step in me this morning. I wish I could drink this tea everyday without going broke.
