5 tasting notes

It’s not a complex oolong and not as creamy as other oolongs but it is smooth and has a delicate sweetness that makes it quite comforting. One of those teas that can be drank whenever, wherever.

This tea was a revelation for me. Such a fragrant tea, smells like an orange macaron with hints of clove and vanilla which would usually turn me off since I’m not a big fan of sweet teas yet this tea was refreshing and smooth with just the right amount of sweetness.

I was expecting a slight orange taste yet I still wanted to taste the tea. It smelled like a Vitamin C tablet and tasted like Vitamin C as well, very medicinal taste for me but might be worth it for someone that likes a zesty blend.

I have mixed feelings about this tea. I do love the balance between the earthiness of the pu-erh and the coconut flavor. I also enjoyed the creaminess of the tea but it was a bit too sweet for me, more of a dessert tea. Would definitely recommend for those that like sweet teas.

What a magical experience! It was my first time tasting a Longjing tea so I can’t really compare it to others but I loved it! It gave me a sensation of home, possibly because it had an aroma of a sweet corn & milk beverage I used to drink in my childhood. The tea is buttery, slightly vegetal & sweet (hits the spot), fresh and nutty. It’s the type of tea that I can drink at any hour of the day. I steeped it for 2.5 min at 70C and for the 2nd infusion, I steeped it for 5 min at 75C. The second infusion felt milder than the first but it was still great!

Bio

Fascinated by tea and tea culture worldwide. Like almost every loose leaf tea out there (except for a few Pu-erhs), specially Oolongs from Wuyi, Guandong, Taiwan as well as Longjing and Dianhong teas. My favorite tea really depends on the mood and scenario but I can never resist teas with notes of honey, lychee, melon, peach, plum and/or nutty flavors.

I started my tea journey only a couple of years ago so I’m excited to continue tasting new teas and start reviewing. I would love to swap teas with anyone living in Europe (check out my cupboard and DM me if interested). At the moment, I have great Oolongs, Black Teas and blends.

Looking forward to meeting more crazy tea lovers!
