My TTC order arrived!!! And just so there aren’t any secrets… I ordered samples of every black yea. Yes, ALL of them. I mean, if it’s free shipping for samples over $25, I might as well try them all!!! (The only one I didn’t get was the 30 year aged one as I tried a sample from Sil and it wasn’t for me.)
I tried this one first as it is described as the lightest. I like light tea in the afternoon. Super dark (Assam) in the AM with cream and honey, then a fujian or laoshan or rizhao in the late morning, then a nice light black tea in the afternoon. Just a pattern I’ve noticed about myself lately. Anyway…
The tea!! Sweet! Cinnamony, sweetpotato/pumpkiny! Actually, I’m not sure if I could tell the difference between this and Butiki’s Taiwanese Wild Mountain Black. I’ll taste them side by side at some point. Right now as Taiwanese teas are new to me, they all kind of taste the same, but i’m sure i’ll start picking up on some differences soon enough. But bottom line, i’m really enjoying this one. Glad I tried it first!

hahahahaha i love their sample sizes! and the packaging :) I picked up my order today as well so yay for that! my first order was the same as yours – samples of every black tea. This time i got larger amounts of a bunch of them…that i was going to share with you and terri haha
that’s funny, you did the same thing with yezi teas. I grabbed a larger quantity to send you guys for the next go round, and then read your review of one of the teas I was going to send and was like, doh! We are just so eager to try ALL of the teas :-)
My TTC order included some blacks, & some of the aged oolongs.
As for sharing teas we may have already tried, oh well, right? As long as it’s tea we like, it’s all good!
TB – i think that was the free sample they sent. I tried to pick samples that weren’t the ones you said you were going to be sending heh
Yeah, they are super generous with samples! But I have plenty more teas up my sleeve to send, I’m always thinking about 3 boxes ahead :-)
