Helene drank Taiwan Monkey Picked (Ma Liu Mie) Tie Guan Yin Oolong Tea by Teavivre

8 tasting notes

Very nice tea from TeaVivre. My first Oolong tasting, it is my after lunch tea today. I brew the Gaiwan style, it is my fav way to brew tea now. Love the brightness of the open leaves and it has a grassy smell. I am at my 4th steep now and can still taste the peach. The color is yellow-orange. My son had a cup and said that it was a fancy tea. I want to educate him about tea. We read where it was from. We will learn together. Now I have to buy my first Gaiwan pot. It will be easier to brew in it than using a cup and a mesh strainer. Thanks TeaVivre again for an amazing tea experience on a cool august day here in Ontario!

Flavors: Peach

I love teas and want to learn. That’s why I joined Steepster. I am also a chocohalic. I collect chocolate like teas.

I am a foodie. I blog about food and desserts. I love to bake, it’s so relaxing. I just had my first experience as a judge for a Iron Pan Chef Competition. It was amazing!

I also travel and my goal is to travel around the world. My best trip so far was in Asia. I visited Beijing, Macau, Hong Kong and Bangkok. I am planning another trip to Asia for the end of the year or early in 2015. I love the life in Asia, the culture, the food and the history.

Another passion is photography, I now own a Rebel T4i and that completely changed my picture style. I do photo-travel so this camera takes gorgeous pictures.

I also like yoga and walking. I am trying to meditate, once in a while, because my son was diagnosed with an incurable disease and I need to clear my mind to help me live my life to the fullest every day. It has affected my subconscient and I have to learn to live with it. It will be a long journey and a rocky road.

My mother tongue is French.
