I like to call this my grind tea. Helps me get through a day of work. Great buzz, keeps you on your toes, and all while not crashing you. Great, sweet flavor. I personally don’t add anything to it. I approve!

Still amazing. The taste of pu-erh just….warms your soul. There’s something about the feeling that lingers. It’s wholesome and comforting. And the chrysanthemum, what can I say, just delightfully sweet.

In a nutshell, the chrysanthemum is the mmmmmm and the pu-erh is the ahhhhhh.

This tea is yummmy. I was trying to find a bagged version of my favorite dim sum tea so that I could enjoy it at school. Somewhat difficult to find without knowing Chinese characters, but after standing in the tea aisle long enough, I picked up this box and whaddayaknow!

Anyway, this tea is great, not too sweet, not too bitter. I have tried Ten Ren’s chrysanthemum tea and found it way to sweet. Their combination with Pu-erh is spot on!

Not something that I would normally drink, but I’m feeling under the weather. The taste is strongly like ginger – not a sweet ginger (like cookies) but a strong ginger (like freshly cut ginger root).

There’s a definite bite in the back of my throat from the ginger, it’s very strong.

I have loose ginger root and I love blending it w/ green and white teas!

Neat idea! I’ll have to keep that in mind once I finish this tea (only have another bag or two). We usually have some ginger root on hand, since my husband cooks with it frequently.

Well I’m impressed. A balance of earthy pu-erh, mixed with chrysanthemum that adds a not-quite-oily heft. Energizing and relaxing. Pretty awesome.

drank Ten Wu by Ten Ren
187 tasting notes

My first oolong, and I have to say, it was quite delicious. I had this in the teabag format. The flavors were very soothing, extremely smooth, and the mouthfeel was not astringent at all. It’s a quiet, mild cup of tea, one that I could see myself drinking on a somewhat regular schedule. Was it anything to rave about and call the relatives about? No. But there were some complexities that I can’t even begin to describe (as a newbie tea-drinker), and it intrigued me. I’ll be having another cup of this soon!

I had no idea decent oolong came in bags. Thanks for the heads up.

teaplz

I actually have no idea if this is halfway decent or not. I’ve never tasted an oolong, after all! It’s Ten Ren’s highest quality oolong in a bag, however!

I’ve heard good things about Ten Ren and I think they get their tea directly from China (?) so at least you can say it’s authentic. :D

drank Pouchong by Ten Ren
187 tasting notes

My boyfriend brought me a tremendous amount of Chinese teas in teabags to sample. Ten Ren’s Pouchong was one of them. I’m a relatively new tea drinker, without much experience in any particular tea, but I’m aware that pouchong falls somewhere between the greens and the oolongs.

This tea has an almost floral fragrance on the nose. The tea itself steeps to a goldenrod/yellow color. The flavor? Very mild. It goes down smooth, with a slight, green, vegetal flavor at the beginning, that develops into something richer (I assume this is the oolong flavor, although since I’ve never really had an oolong tea, I can’t be entirely sure). My cup was gone in 10 minutes. I do think the tea got a bit astringent towards the bottom of the cup (some dust managed to escape the bag and congregated at the bottom of my cup), but the entire experience was mild, pleasant, and delicious!

drank Ti Kuan Yin by Ten Ren
2 tasting notes

Just drank this last night. My dad got a box of vaccuum-packed bags that held a pot’s worth of tea each as a gift from a business trip to China. Apparently, I’ve only ever had Taiwanese varieties of Ti Kuan Yin before, because I thought it was going to be brown instead of green.

This has something to do with the flavor, because it’s a lot less “woody” than I was expecting. It’s quite a bit more floral and generally more mellow than the Taiwanese kind. Overall a very pleasant drink, but not particularly different from any other Chinese oolong.

Nothing special. They need a “meh” option between the thumbs up and thumbs down.

Jillian

When you don’t select either thumbs up or thumbs down it automatically gives you a ‘null’ vote.

So I’ve been on this milk tea kick for the last few weeks, but this morning I just needed something simple and “refreshing” so I grab the only unflavored oolong left in my cupboard which happened to be — King’s 313 green oolong.

Really tired this morning. Wasn’t in the mood for a black tea because that’s all I had yesterday so I went for a strong oolong instead. This is very smoothing and is slowly waking me up.

My dad gave me a large tin of this as my going away present for the school year. It’s quite yummy and has a nutty taste that’s different and a bit lighter than the wuyi ensemble from Adagio.

I’ve been meaning to try some of Ten Ren’s king’s tea range. Sounds like I should get around to it!

I wish I could thank the lady in the shop who sold me this tea…

Really good through the third infusion. I’ve been sharing it with the community house I’m staying at and they love it too!
