Finally caved in to try this tea after hesitating for a while to brew the beautiful large green leaves.It’s a tea that makes me really appreciate the effort of the tea making and shipping process. The delicate and meticulously dried leaves are in my hand thousands of miles away still intact in those large beautiful pieces.

I am glad I took the plunge to brew some! It’s light and refreshing with a prominent fruity note in the forefront and subtle floral – grassy undertones. The grassiness is reminiscent of bamboo teas. The grassiness became more pronounced after a couple of rebrews. The sweetness from the fruity notes lingers even after the tea is all gone.

Surprisingly light tea given that the aroma of it is stronger close to a typical tie guan yin. It is refreshing with the crisp mineral taste like a spring. A subtle floral undertone lingers but is very subdued.

This is my favorite tea and I have been burning through these with WFH meetings. It’s so easy to pop one of these in my mug with hot water and keep filling it up. It’s not so intricate that you feel bad about drinking it mindlessly. It gets me at least 3-4 full cups of tea. I have always loved this tea but it has become my best friend the last few weeks. I had so many stowed away and I am almost out of them. Someone recommend more pu-erhs that can be drank grandpa style

Sample Drink down.

It was a good tea. Not something I would reach for. It is naturally sweet from the apples and rooibos. The rooibos is strong with this one. Lots of apples.

Not my cup of tea but its good for someone who like rooibos

Just got an ounce of it. It was raved about in some of the tea community so I thought I would give it a try. Meh. It just tastes like Rooibos with an oil slick. I wish you could take a look at the ingredients before you buy at the store.

I am cold brewing it finish it faster

Polishing off the last of this tea.
ehhh. The tea smells better than it tastes. The flavor has waned so much in the short time I have had it. It has been properly stored so I am not sure if I ended up getting an older stash of it. Probably one that I would not bother getting again.

Chocolate bar pu’er from with orange peels. This tea has been one of my most coveted teas. I love the way it looks. The intermingled orange pieces with the pu’erh tea looks wonderful to me . I always admire it for a few minutes. It is a simple and comforting tea to me. It is not one that is complex tea or anything too special. It gives me a few infusions but it brings me joy like no other.
It has been out of stock since the pandemic so I have been rationing it.Today I felt that I should just drink what brings me joy instead of worrying about running out of tea.

It is a hardy tea with a full body. The liquor is woodsy and savory. I can really taste the orange in this one.

made it as a night cap. It was so sweet and tangy. It was an artificial sweetness that I couldn’t get out my mouth.
