Oh the joys of getting people to buy random tea with you so you do some blind tastings.This time I used Dragon Tea House because it’s cheap and not many review a large selection of what they have. Teahong or King Tea will be next…
This time we were looking for some cheap ass tea that is good
1: Premium Da Yu Ling
DTH says: fruity n’ creamy
What I say: $8 for 50g, you get Aliexpress quality here and the price is accurate for ‘you get what you pay for’. This is not as tender and delicate as a dayuling should be.
2: 3rd Price Shanlinxi
All shanlinxi is worth trying and at $7.50 per ounce, I’m okay with this : )
3: Premium Organic Jinxuan Milk Oolong
Flavored ‘milk oolongs’ can suck it
4: Single Bush Peach Dancong
Smells like an interesting pizza and taste kind of like that too… when a single bush is sold 5x cheaper than it should be, figure there’s a reason : )
5:Compeition Tontin Jin Xuan
$12 for 50g, it’s decent buy… but I want more of the #7’s THC effect first :P
6: Spring Bush Dancong
DTH says: fruity with honey
What LP says: Let’s approach this at $12 for 50g… I wish, just doesn’t provide the smoothness a quality leaf has; this tea isn’t very good. HOWEVER, when it cools down it’s quite good.
7: Surpreme Tie Luo Han
This tea might have THC in it, I’ll be buying more.
8: This is a 2012 Dong Ding that I purchased for LPT and am currently selling as a filler for the bamboo containers; I really like it.
9: This is a curve ball… I threw in What Cha’s Thailand Bai Yai for the laughs.

The remaining amount is up for purchase via donation so I can begin the selection of LaoEMan variations from KingTea and then more oolongs, but this time from Tea Hong; both will be blind tastings : )
interesting! the no:3 is sooooooo milky I thought it must be flavoured
and the no:2, ‘3rd price’ is actually ‘3rd prize’ i.e. an award winner, right?
Teahong? I’d love a piece of that action!
Just bought me some #7.
Will the second round be similar in the type of varieties?
lets keep it to oolong. all the time. :)
LaoEMan oolong, that’d be interesting. I want to do a blind shanlinxi tasting eventually.
ahem., the no3 is flavoured as I thought. I was confused by your wording
