Popular Tasting Notes
Hate the name. But the tea is actually pretty good. I did add a little sugar and cream but it is smooth, sweet, not overly tart (which the Valentines can be for me). Chocolaty and fruity but neither flavor is overwhelming (probably due to the cream and mambo). Tastes good. Still hate the name.
Wow! Just opened the sample packet, smells amazing. I used my duck eggshell gaiwan and filled it with 12 pearls. Nice and sweet. In the past I have had blends with jasmine pearls in them, but never buy themselves. Samovar is in the lead for being my favorite tea place.
Preparation
The best Chinese teas I have had have a rich, full-bodied, almost earthy taste. This tea, on the other hand, is mild and watery.
For a great blend of Oolong and Keemun tea, I recommend All Day Breakfast by the Republic of Tea (http://www.republicoftea.com/product.aspx?p=V00555).
