This is hitting the spot. I’ve been holding off on the best homemade caramel rolls and needed something sweet like this one.

I’m finding this oolong to be nicer than the Laoshan black teas that I’ve had, but those are some of my favorite teas too. I have yet to try the greens, but those are on my list.

Hands down prefer the oolong to the black despite the black’s excellence.

Upping my rating as I’m enjoying this tea a lot. The only thing I would add is that I’m also getting a hint of nuttiness that I really like. Thanks again Teavivre!

Solid chai. I’ll try it Western later, but for now I used little leaf going gong fu. The chai flavors are present but not overwhelming like other chai teas I’ve had.

This is my second favorite tea from the six I got from GMT recently.

Flavors: Cardamom, Cinnamon, Pepper, Sweet

Thanks for this one Teavivre! I believe that this is my first Dan Cong. I’m looking into exploring oolongs this year, which I’m learning is a lot more expensive than the black teas I’ve been getting.

This one is nice: buttery, florals, and a hint of peach. I’m drinking it Western this time, which I think I prefer.

Flavors: Butter, Floral, Peach

This reminds a lot of Mandala’s Noble Mark oddly enough.

Good tea.

I’m enjoying this one a lot. Floral and creamy with a hint of citrus when pushed with high temp.

I really liked the Laoshan blacks from YS and wanted to try this one for a while. It’s some tasty tea. More mellow than the black teas, but smoother IMO.

I think Verdant’s tasting profile fits well: http://verdanttea.com/teas/spring-laoshan-roasted-oolong/

This one is nice. I’ve been neglecting it for a while, but it’s one of the better flavored teas that I have had.

I have tea arriving today from Verdant’s sale and from Teavivre—good day!

I’m onto my third year of drinking loose leaf. It’s been an exciting last year, trying lots of different teas, and finding out which teas I like and don’t like.
