Maddy Barone drank Fujian Golden Monkey 'Jin Mao Hou' Black Tea by What-Cha

768 tasting notes

A new favorite in my cupboard!
This tea is smooth, very smooth. I think of it as a posh, elegant tea for mid-morning or afternoon. No bitterness or astringency to interrupt the sip, just silky, mellow tea that is a delight to drink.

I am packing for the move, and I’ve decided I need to keep just 1 tea out to brew for a pick me up during the next two days. I think this will be the tea I drink until the move is over and the kitchen stuff is unpacked on Sunday.

Preparation

200 °F / 93 °C 2 min, 15 sec 1 tsp 10 OZ / 295 ML

I love cats. I love alone time. I love sitting indoors on a cold winter night with a book or my knitting while drinking tea. I don’t have a sense of smell, so many of the more subtle flavors of tea escape me. Two of the things I CAN taste are bitter and sour, so any tea that has even a slightly bitter taste is nasty for me. And what others might perceive as pleasant tartness may be horribly sour for me.

I’m also a writer. I love writing, and a mug of hot tea helps me get through the hours sitting in front of the computer. Although I’m a comparatively new tea drinker, I’m jumping in feet first. Feel free to recommend any teas you think I might enjoy.

100-91 – Wowza! I want to keep this tea in the cupboard all the time.
75-90 – Very nice. It would be good to have this tea on hand from time to time.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my cuppa.
Lower than 45 – Blech. It was too sour or bitter for my taste. Would not drink it again.
