I like this tea. I now realize that among the blends that I’ve really enjoyed, keemun has been a strong flavor component.

I was expecting more flavor. This tea is just kind of ….there. Drinkable but not memorable. Will drink down but not repurchase.

drank Golden Monkey by Harney & Sons

This was a sample from Harney & Sons and I brewed it with high hopes based on Steepster ratings. I noticed some chocolate malty type flavors, and a nice after taste. But not extraordinary.

Boiling 5 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

drank Li Shan by Harney & Sons

This is a nice green oolong and I am enjoying it. It tastes more vegetal than floral. I think that I would rather floral. It is an expensive tea, and very highly rated. I am a little embarrassed to say that to me, it tastes pretty ordinary. I feel I’ve tasted it before in a less expensive form. I am going to resteep at a lower temperature with less water and hope for more magic.

OK, have resteeped. Still not impressed.

drank BB Detox by Kusmi Tea
33 tasting notes

I quite like this tea. I am a grapefruit fan and drinking this tea is like sitting back and having some fresh grapefruit without it squirting you in the eye, and no worries about getting some of that bitter pith on your tongue. I don’t know about its BB and detox effects, but I do know that it is nice and refreshing to drink.

Preparation
200 °F / 93 °C 4 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

Quite a yummy Da Hong Pao. I have been purchasing lots of this type of tea from many different vendors and it is surprising how different they all are. This is a keeper.

Preparation
195 °F / 90 °C 3 min, 15 sec 2 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

Nice cup of tea. I like it better than the Honey Black tea made by the same company. A little bit more complex.
