Haiwan Tea Industry (Tuocha tea)
Edit CompanyRecent Tasting Notes
This tea is tasty and sweet with a fair amount of fermentation flavor. I only western brewed this this morning but it is good. No time this morning for a gongfu session. There is very little bitterness to this tea and I am sure I would get more complex notes out of it if I gongfud it. As it is it is sweet and tasty.
I brewed this once with 2 mini tuo cha about 10g leaf and boiling water in a 16oz Teavana Glass Perfect Tea Maker for 1 min.
Flavors: Earth, Sweet
Preparation
I have a sample of very generous tea friend on Steepster. I had it several times but didnt log it, couldnt find since this tea has another name 2010 Haiwan Ultimate Flavor (thats how its sold on ebay and Aliexpress).
Made it last night in my 120cc Yixing. Used 8g 212F.

Let me tell you. this tea is everything I love in shou: rich, smooth, chocolaty, dried fruits(my favorite). by 3rd cup i felt so sleepy, and 5th did the job. Slept 8 hrs straight. Perfect. Now i need to get me the whole cake.
PS will continue tonight, lots of life left;)
Preparation
is Hawaiian tea industry the same as Hawaiian tea factory? i’m guessing its not?
I think it’s the same but maybe name changed a little.
You can get this one of ebay as well.
Yes mrmopar, Dragon Tea House sells it. I found one on Aliexpress,$8 cheaper. Don’t know if I should get fr them or DTH? It’s like sleeping aid. 3 days in a row is not a coinsidence !
Try Berrylleb King Tea on ebay. Highly recommended. Most orders get here in about 10 working days. Good stuff!
Thank you for your advice , mrmopar. I will.
boychik – you must refer to Grandness on Aliexpress at $22.95, right? She is fine as an aliexpress seller and a sale is a sale. The only down side is that it often takes 2-4 days for her to stock the item before she can ship it (the inventory she has an extensive listing but limited capital tied up in inventory). If you can wait a few extra days, it’s worth it. Also, I’ve picked up several Haiwan items from her and they’ve all been authentic as far as I can tell.
Yes, DigniTea. That’s the seller. Sure I can wait, I still have nice chunk left. Thanks for recommending!
I will second Grandness also. Great seller as well.
You sent me the 2008 Haiwan Ultimate Flavor…do you know if it has another name as well? (Loving it right now, btw.)
Cheri, i got it as a sample as well as 2010. so if you dont mind make a new entry for 2008 , copy whatever for this one. i couldnt find an entry, but its the same tea diff year. its very good , i love them both. i have a great mentor supplying me with great samples ;)
I really, really liked it.
It’s this one in the database Cheri.

No probs we all help each other! Much better than that facepage thing!
Thanks!
