1725 tasting notes

Had this today and yesterday and it is still great. I can enjoy the energy jolt I need for a workout and the taste of coffee without the jitters thanks to my friend, L-Theanine. I’m also really glad that this has been getting decent reviews.

It is a bit bitter and acidic, but the Dian Hong he uses helps smooth it out. I personally taste the grapefruit especially from the acidity, but a lot of people on here only taste it in increments. Are you or were you a coffee drinker? If so, this is your tea.

I was, actually. Also tea but I do miss a good coffee – i used to drink a lot but now my body goes into the jitters with one cup. Even decaf I notice unpleasantness. Idk what it is

Same. It depends on the type of coffee for me. If it’s a sugared up latte or cappucion, I get some twitches, but only some. Kona so far is the only black coffee that hasn’t effected me badly in one cup lately. It’s why I turn to tea and some blacks or yan cha’s because some are closer to coffee in taste.

All of them so far have made me feel bad – sometimes an instant coffee has been ok-ish. I think I’m going to investigate further, go to a coffee forum. Theres nothing like a good cappuccino. Just once in a while when I want one would be ok with me.

I did have something that was really close to coffee the other day – It might have been a dian hong. I cant remember what it was as ive been bust working. But its in my drinking stash, i’ll try to figure it out.

First Off, Current Targets:

Whispering Pines Alice
Good Luxurious Work Teas

Dislikes: Heavy Tannin, Astringency, Bitterness, or Fake Flavor, Overly herby herbal or aged teas

Picky with: Higher Oxidation Oolongs, Red Oolongs (Some I love, others give me headaches or are almost too sweet), Mint Teas

Currently, my stash is overflowing. Among my favorites are What-Cha’s Lishan Black, Amber Gaba Oolong, Lishan Oolong, Qilan Oolong, White Rhino, Kenya Silver Needle, Tong Mu Lapsang Black (Unsmoked); Whispering Pines Alice, Taiwanese Assam, Wang’s Shanlinxi, Cuifeng, Dayuling, Jasmine Shan Lin Xi; Beautiful Taiwan Tea Co.“Old Style” Dong Ding, Mandala Milk Oolong; Paru’s Milk Oolong

Me:

I am an MSU graduate, and current alternative ed. high school social studies and history teacher. I formerly minored in anthropology, and I love Egyptian and classical history. I love to read, write, draw, paint, sculpt, fence(with a sword), practice calisthenics on rings, lift weights, workout, relax, and drink a cuppa tea…or twenty.

I’ve been drinking green and black teas ever since I was little living in Hawaii. Eastern Asian influence was prominent with my friends and where I grew up, so I’ve been exposed to some tea culture at a young age. I’ve come a long way since I began on steepster and now drink most teas gong fu, especially oolong. Any tea that is naturally creamy, fruity, or sweet without a lot of added flavoring ranks as a must have for me. I also love black teas and dark oolongs with the elusive “cocoa” note. My favorites are lighter Earl Greys, some white teas like What-Cha’s Kenyan offerings, most Hong-Cha’s, darker Darjeelings, almost anything from Nepal, Green Shan Lin Xi’s, and Greener Dong Dings. I’m in the process of trying Alishan’s. I also tend to really enjoy Yunnan Black or Red teas and white teas. I’m pickier with other teas like chamomile, green teas, and Masalas among several.

I used to give ratings, but now I only rate teas that have a strong impression on me. If I really like it, I’ll write it down.

I’ll enjoy a tea almost no matter what, even if the purpose is more medicinal, for it is my truest vice and addiction.
