6 Tasting Notes
I use this tea as another daily grandpa style drinker. It’s cheap enough that if you use too much you don’t have to worry about resupplying. It’s convenient that it’s on Amazon for 2 day shipping. It’s not the best gunpowder you can fine but it’s a good daily drinker to have around.
Preparation
This is a great morning tea. I brew it western style in a relative close fashion to what the company recommends. The first brew is more complex while the second brew is more subtle and sweet. You could probably get 3 steeps out of this however I opt for 2. One for 3 minutes and another for 5-6. I find it to be a good value also at it’s current price point of $10 for 50 grams.
Preparation
I love this tea. I tend to brew it gong fu style. It makes for a great treat. It is a great example of a well roasted Oolong with a nice twist. I received this by accident and completely am in love with it. It was a joyous mistake. The mouthfeel and aromatics are just amazing.
Preparation
I bought this tea for very cheap off of Amazon Prime. The price is about 8 cents per gram when you get a 16oz packet. This is more of an everyday drinking tea than anything else. I bought this purely to grandpa style while at work.
This tea works pretty well for that. The small pieces of stem that are placed in tend to stay floating however they are pretty easy to skim off. While not the highest quality of tea it’s one you can just use willy nilly and not worry about breaking your bank. Don’t expect the highest quality out of this.
Preparation
I’m super addicted to this tea. It has a super high quality roast flavor. The aftertaste is insanely great. Easily can get three steeps out of this tea. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes roasted Oolongs. Works great for both Gong Fu and Western
Preparation
I find that the Doke Silver Needles very delicious. You can easily get 2-3 good steeps out of it. It’s a very smooth taste with no hint of bitterness. It has a slightly vegetable taste with a bit of grape aftertaste. It’s very reasonably priced and could easily be an everyday drinker.
