NofarS drank Lao Cong Zi Ya by Norbu Tea

423 tasting notes

Backlogging from yesterday. The leaves of this tea are staggeringly long and they smell fantastic – sweet, fruity and very intriguing. Didn’t have the time to brew them gongfu style yesterday, and that’s a shame. Their smell shows so much promise, and but brewing them western style simply flattens the tea’s taste. It’s still very tasty – sweet with no bitterness or astringency, full of fruit notes.
Will try to drink it gongfu style and post then.
Norbu is a wonderful company – super fast shipping, great site, good prices, fantastic packaging.

Bio

An Israeli computer programmer with a passion for tea (mostly bought in yearly shopping sprees in the UK), particularly black, oolong and white. I don’t generally enjoy flavoured teas or herbal infusions, but if a tea sounds interesting and smells nice I’ll most definitely try it. I drink several cups of tea a day, usually one or two in the morning, another one after lunch and one or two in the evening. My favourite tea so far is Lao Cong Zi Ya from Norbu Tea, but I’m constantly trying new teas. Only in the past year have I branched into Pu’erh and non-roasted oolongs. Finding good tea in Israel is difficult, so I import most of my teas from yearly visits to London, or from online retailers. If you see something in my cupboard that sparks your interest and you would like to swap with me, then please message me. I’m almost always up for a swap.
