Most Exotic Tea you have ever tried. Go!
One of my favorites is a Hawaiian Islands Tea called Mango Maui!
I will start – Mango Maui!
I love that one too. Though I don’t find it so exotic cause I know where I can pick it up whenever hehe
King of Fruits from Lupicia – a Durian flavored oolong!
I have also had a few Starfruit teas, I have one in my collection unopened that is a Luo, Starfruit and Mango black tea blend.
I also had Sakura blossom tea that was just salted blossoms.
Sakura blossom tea is very common in Japan and all of the ones I have seen/had are salted to preserve them. Some people will quickly rinse the salt off, however in my experience the salty taste is still there.
I have 5g of tea that someone grew and fermented at their house in Russia… waiting to drink it with a friend so I can’t say I have tried it yet, but I will.
I am pretty excited!
These are the kind of things that happen when you send out 8432098490384093284039 emails a day to people who grow tea :)
Also, it is advised to be very cautious of course because many schemers are out there.
Hrrrm, most exotic…I think maybe the Darjeeling Jungpana Yellow Tea from What-Cha might be my pick
or maybe the Green Tea from the Azores
I used to think the green tea from Jeju Island that I tried while in South Korea was one of the most exotic, until…. Teavana started to sell it. I still like it! LOL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UShqvTK3GRs
Probably the Hawaiian green tea I had a few years ago. Oh it was so tasty. Super fruity. Like pineapple and mangoes.
I’d say either Greek/Macedonian mountain tea or buckwheat tea. The former tastes really herbaceous and it’s best to actually boil the leaf in the water instead of letting it steep in already-boiled water.
I wouldn’t really call it exotic, but it was uncommon in my circle. I brewed up some Traditional Yaupon tea grown in southern Florida. It was fantastic and incredibly exhilarating!
I once had matcha at a traditional tea ceremony at a Samurai house on a small island in Japan.
Hmm, I’ve been drinking strange stuff, so it all seems so normal now… I think the strangest thing I have had was either powdered AliShan oolong/Aged black/Arbor Sheng, or a roasted matcha. But then there is the purple black tea from the country of Georgia, or the Douglas Fir pine needle tea….
My question is; what is normal tea?
