I love green teas and was looking forward to trying this tea because it had such good reviews. I can definitely taste the cinnamon, candy, peppercorns but the sencha is lost. I don’t taste it at all. I think the cinnamon/candy flavor has overpowerd it. It’s still a decent tea but coming from a green tea lover, not for me.

This tea was from MissB in her mystery package. I’m just getting around to trying it now as I kept forgetting in the mornings. This is a lovely robust tea. I pick up cinnamon? in the aroma. Really a great cup. Can’t add much more to the already great reviews on it.

Another great oolong. Light Buttery with floral notes. I might need to have this a few more times to determine what makes it different from some of the other good oolongs but still a great cup of tea. 2nd infusion was as good as the first.

I ordered this tea from Tealux in February and just getting around to having a cup of it now. In the bag it smelled so sweet. Brewed up it was very light like a white tea on the first few sips. After that it seemed to get more body. It has a light nutty (like chestnuts) buttery taste and a bit of sweetness. Well, I just slurped down the last drop of it. I really enjoyed this one. It was just like spring in a cup.

I think I have too many teas right now. How could I have had this one and not appreciated for what it was? I must have chugged it down tasting the Earl Grey in it and didn’t give it much thought. It’s not an Earl Grey green tea but an Earl Grey Oolong. If you love bergamot and the buttery notes of oolong, you will love this one. I do. I only have a sample size but I’m putting this on my next Tealux order.

I’m just not liking this tea and I think it’s because it’s too close to a black tea. It’s got that malty sweet jammy taste (like dates and honey). I think for someone who loves black teas they would really enjoy this tea. It’s supposed to be this rare tea only made in 10 days of the year in June in Taiwan. Sounds fabulous but it’s not working for me (even with 2 infusions). I like my light or grassy teas. This is a tea I need to add to the swap/sell list .
