Silk Road Teas

4th steep and still good.

Pretty good, though the seaweed can be somewhat overpowering, especially if steeped too long.

I drink one cup every morning with breakfast. It is the tea I offer when I have guests because the flavor is not too bold and overpowering. It is always a big hit.

An excellent every day tea. It’s very light, and natural tasting, with a good strong green tea flavor.

My first cake and it’s delicious. I was nervous to steep a cake, but it went well. Very similar to Maidens Ecstasy from Samovar. Dark, sweet and flavoursome but not overpowering. Very nice morning blend. First steep at 3 minutes, second just as good at 1.5 minutes.

Very clean, easy going down. Nice sweet linger. This one is a keeper.

I can’t say much and be different from Silk Road Tea’s own description of this tea. It seems quite delicate, yet strong enough to warrant being an every day tea. Sweet and traditionally grassy but it doesn’t overload you. Quite satisfying and very good for the mind when steeping and thinking of the buddhist connection.

A little heavier than many other Fujian teas I have had, but still light and green. Quite mixed flavours roll over the tongue as it passes, adding a complexity that can’t be ignored when rushing.

I found it a little tough to judge how much to use, I think I went a little under the correct amount in the end, but still enjoyed it. I steeped for about 2.5 minutes the first time, nearly 4 the second and both were tasty. Light and crisp this is a really mellow every day tea. I could drink this all day long.

A very mild and easy to drink green tea. More fragrant that flavorful. Good for about 4-5 steeps at 25-35 seconds per steep with 160-170 degree water.
