an awesome tea!

nice and smooth with plum, honey and spices.

sorry my dear followers i forgot to smell the leaves before the steeping and my mom’s bf threw out the leaves so i cannot do a full review :(

many thanks for this sample Daniel Lui

a decent tea :)

when i smell the leaves dry, they smell nice and green.

when i smell the leaves wet, the smell is intensified.

when i smell the brewed tea, it smells nice and green.

when i taste the brewed tea, it tastes green and strong honey.

i rate this a 90 because it tastes funny to me :D

a great tea!

I noticed a taste I have never tasted in sheng before, SUGAR! (no actual sugar added). maybe its because this tea is from 2007? I wouldn’t know

little glass pitcher method, grandpa style:

when I smell the leaves dry, they smell green and musty.

when I smell the leaves wet, they smell green and floral.

when I taste the brewed tea, I taste sweetness, sugar, green and floral.

I rate this a 95 because I don’t taste any honey or spices.

many thanks to Daniel and his Vancouver Chinatown tea shop for this amazing tea

for once this tea got a tad bitter :O

a decent tea

when i smell the leaves dry, they have a dark chocolate smell.

when i smell the leaves wet, they have a dark chocolate smell as well as a roasted/toasty smell

when i smell the brewed tea, i smell a dark chocolate smell as well as roasted/toasty smell.

when i taste the brewed tea, i taste dark chocolate as well as a roasted/toasty taste. also i taste grapes, but its so minor its hard to tell if it is me or the tea.

now, the dominant taste is the dark chocolate. also i was told by Amanda ‘SoggyEnderman’ Wilson that this tea is a lot like “Shui Hsien” from Sea dyke brand. if i were to say which is better Shui Hsien or this tea, the former wins hands down.

i rate this tea a 75, as i was kind of disappointed.

an amazing tea!

although I’ve had this tea before, i have noticed a taste/aroma that i have not noticed before. CHOCOLATE! this is due to a lack of understanding on what chocolate tastes like in tea. i let it steep strong!

when i smell the leaves dry, they smell nice and chocolaty.

when i smell the leaves wet, they smell nice, chocolaty and roasted/toasty.

when i smell the brewed tea, i notice a chocolate and roasted/toasty smell

when i taste the brewed tea, my love is re-kindled! chocolate and roasted/toasty!

i rate this tea a 100 because i remember this is one of the first oolongs I’ve ever tried and i love it!

i grabbed the wrong tea when i meant to grab an oolong…

im just going to say, im fed up of being unimpressed with black teas :(

i have one left to try and i doubt i will like it.
