drank Cypress Dong Ding by Liquid Proust Teas

Interesting.

The dry leaf smells like barbecue potato chips. The liquid tastes like a Mediterranean chicken marinade. So, this is a cooking tea. I appreciate the uniqueness, but not something I’d get.

I’m going to put this as the official taste… Oh my, this is funny. I’m curious as to what others think now. I think I’ll try it for the next few days and see if I can get the chicken notes :)

Between my remarks of this tasting line acorns and this… Can’t blame anyone for not wanting to try it now :p

It did not quite taste like chicken itself, but like a sauce or a marinade that goes on chicken. As in something you should soak chicken with.

This tea was forced to retirement as of 4:15pm eastern time on June 30th 2016. A liquid that taste like a marinade for chicken… lmao. Well, you tried it and reported back. I’ll use this description when my website is official… hehe.

I drank this one yesterday as well. I can taste/smell the BBQ potato chips and the marinade a bit as well. I actually caught a wiff of dill in the dry leaf. I thought this tea was (as you said) interestinga, and I actually prefered it warm or cool versus hot. I can say that it did taste like an oolong to me. Part of it actually reminded me of the roasted Jin Xuan coffee bean LP tea.

Me:

I am an MSU graduate, and current alternative ed. high school social studies and history teacher. I formerly minored in anthropology, and I love Egyptian and classical history. I love to read, write, draw, paint, sculpt, fence(with a sword), practice calisthenics on rings, lift weights, workout, relax, and drink a cuppa tea…or twenty.

I’ve been drinking green and black teas ever since I was little living in Hawaii. Eastern Asian influence was prominent with my friends and where I grew up, so I’ve been exposed to some tea culture at a young age. I’ve come a long way since I began on steepster and now drink most teas gong fu, especially oolong. Any tea that is naturally creamy, fruity, or sweet without a lot of added flavoring ranks as a must have for me. I also love black teas and dark oolongs with the elusive “cocoa” note. My favorites are lighter Earl Greys, some white teas like What-Cha’s Kenyan offerings, most Hong-Cha’s, darker Darjeelings, almost anything from Nepal, Green Shan Lin Xi’s, and Greener Dong Dings. I’m in the process of trying Alishan’s. I also tend to really enjoy Yunnan Black or Red teas and white teas. I’m pickier with other teas like chamomile, green teas, and Masalas among several.

I used to give ratings, but now I only rate teas that have a strong impression on me. If I really like it, I’ll write it down.

I’ll enjoy a tea almost no matter what, even if the purpose is more medicinal, for it is my truest vice and addiction.
