Kawaii433 drank Xinhui Green Mandarin Orange Ripened Pu-erh Tea by Teavivre

379 tasting notes

Happy New Year :D

I’m trying this again and this time I didn’t break it wide open, which was a mistake last time I tried it. While it’s not a strong orange flavor (compared to their tangerine one) and the pu erh is really mild too… I like it much better this time. I’m drinking it grandpa style, after rinsing it, I have it floating in a big mug. I didn’t make holes in it as their video suggests. Maybe next time. I have quite few of them to experiment with.

Flavors: Citrus, Earth, Orange, Orange Zest

Preparation

Boiling 5 min, 0 sec 16 OZ / 480 ML

I don’t know, I tried cracking a hole in the shell and found it impossible.

hehe That’s how I ended up busting it wide open the first time. I haven’t tried with something really sharp though.

Profile

Bio

Longtime casual tea drinker. In the past, mainly Matcha, Gyokuro, Sencha, Genmaicha… Etc. I like all teas: Green, oolong, black & pu’erh (prefer ripe over raw).

Chanoyu (for matcha prep) and Gongfu cha (for other types of tea) are the main ways I prepare my tea (Gaiwan, Yixing teapot, Kyusu). I drink all tea… Usually unflavored. This past year, I’ve tried many flavored now because of all of you lol. As long as there aren’t artificial sweeteners, it’s all good.

Favorite stores: TeaVivre, What-Cha, Mandala Tea, 52Teas, Whispering Pines, Bird & Blend, Yunnan sourcing, White2Tea, Lupicia.

The flavors I dislike: Artificial sweetener, lavender, violet, any strong floral-perfumey tea; cantaloupe, papaya, honeydew, rose, licorice, anise, jasmine, any mints, leather.

Favorite flavors: Citrus fruits (especially grapefruit & tangerines), granny smith apple, bananas, guava, mango, tamarind, watermelon, stonefruits, chocolate, caramel, vanilla, milk, cinnamon, creme, bread/pastry, nuts, toasted, roasted.

I generally don’t add anything to my teas unless they are flavored, then I may add a splash of milk.

As I explore, my ratings may shift. 90+ generally means I’ll keep it on my shelf.
