Backlog.

I only managed one session with this tea and the rest of it was brewed in less than ideal situations while traveling. Nevertheless, I remember this being a tasty tea. Creamier and more full-bodied than regular grade Pine Needle Laoshan tea. The taste is a blend of soymilk and crisp lettuce with a little honey and rounded out with a touch of nuttiness. The description says this tea is fed by sweet mountain spring water and it really does taste like it. There’s a fresh, pure quality to it that reminds me of drinking water from a spring.

Flavors: Fruity, Grass, Lettuce, Milk, Soybean

Preparation
180 °F / 82 °C 0 min, 30 sec 2 g 95 OZ / 2809 ML

My Rating Criteria:

95 to 100: Top shelf stuff. Loved this tea and highly recommend it

90 to 94: Excellent. Enjoyed this tea and would likely repurchase

80 to 89: Good but not great. I liked it though it may be lacking in some aspects. I’ll finish it but probably won’t buy again

70 to 79: Average at best. Not terrible but wouldn’t willingly drink again

60 to 69: Sub-par. Low quality tea, barely palatable

59 and below: Bleh

Fell into tea many years ago and for a long time my experience was limited to Japanese greens and flavored Teavana teas. My tea epiphany happened when I discovered jade oolongs. That was my gateway drug to the world of high quality tea and teaware.

For the most part, I drink straight tea but do appreciate a good flavored tea on occasion. I love fresh green and floral flavors and as such, green tea and Taiwanese oolongs will always have a place in my cupboard. After avoiding black tea forever, Chinese blacks have started to grow on me. I’m less enthusiastic about puerh though. I also enjoy white tea and tisanes but reach for them less frequently.

Other non-tea interests include: cooking, reading, nature, philosophy, MMA, traveling when I can, and of course putzing around on the interwebs.
