It is a tea harvested from young, wild tea leaves in the Yunnan province in China, from these trees farmers there also harvest tea leaves for Pu-Erh teas, making Ya Bao Yesheng known in these areas as the "White Pu-Erh"The taste and the aroma of this tea is unique and unlike any other tea, very sweet with a slight flavor and smell of a watermelon.
Tanyang Gongfu is a carefully made black tea from the Tanyang Caicha cultivar. The tea is quite expensive, but it is definitley worthy of its price.The aroma of the dry leaves is that of flowers, dark honey and freshly baked bread skin The taste of this tea is vibrant, intense, the tea tastes malty, fruity and cocoa. Personally, I think this tea might even satisfy coffee drinkers and maybe even make them switch from coffee to tea.
Georgia (the best country in the caucasus region) usually only makes black teas, because of thier climate and geography it's quite hard to make a good green tea, but this tea might just prove me wrong.Georgian Green Nagomari is a green tea from the first flush that might remind some avid tea drinkers of green tea from far east asian countries like Japan or China, the taste and aroma of the tea is a lot like the taste and aroma of a typical Sencha, so flowery, grassy and refreshing.
Man Nong [sic] mountain cooked pu-erh tea cake is a ripe pu erh tea compressed into a cake wrapped around in a cloth.Pu-erh teas usually have a strong fish like smell and strong earthy taste, but this tea has sat for long enough for these unpleasant smells and strong flavors to dissipate, leaving only nice flavors and aromas that are closer to vanilla and sweet earth, this tea is very good especially when you buy the whole cake to have it always on display
Honestly I just bought this tea and it freaking sucks, the aromatised leafs of this knock off tea trying to imitate the original are completley destroying the intesity of the aroma and makes me almost throw up when smelling it, and it's worse when you try to drink it because it just tastes like ashes and dead people, if you wanna try out a smokey tea, I reccomend an original Lapsang since this one will just destroy your senses.
Huang Xiao is a rare type of tea, since it is a yellow tea, yellow teas are made with an added yellowing process with makes the leafs yellow or something like that. The tea has an aroma and a taste similar to that of a peanut, it is overall pleasant although if you sniff the wet leafs too hard you might get dizzy! The aroma also has hints of refreshing grass or fruits and the taste has a slight vanilla touch. All and all, I really enjoyed that tea and I am surprised yellow teas are that uncommon, I recommend it from the bottom of my heart. 4/5
Sencha is a green tea grown in Japan, hence the name of this drink! Japanese sencha is super duper sweet, refreshing and has a visible Umami taste ^-^ But the taste will not overshadow its aroma, for it is sweet and has a smell that is very close to various diffrent fruits :0 Japanese sencha can be prepared, hot, cold, kuridashi and in gongfu style too :D It's quite an universal tea so it will fit everyone everywhere anytime anywhere :3 As an avid fan of Japanese culture, I might be a little bit biased on the rating of this tea :p but that will not stop me from reviewing it anyways, I give this tea a 5/5 !!!
Hello I am writing this earlier than usually because of the prolapse in the east coast of USA or whatever it is. Dong Ding Oolong is a classic middle oolong tea that should be tried atleast once by every tea lover by myself, it is an oolong tea dried and rolled into little balls, the tea itself smells like flowers and carmel, the taste of this tea is light but you can clearly feel the taste of nuts and carmel. The tea is cultivated in Taiwan (which is a real heckin' country!) at the height of 1000 meters above sea level. Thing qingcha or turquoise tea or oolong or something inbetween white tea and black tea tea is delicious and everyone should try it atleast once as I have said before, I give it a score of 5/5
Omaga… We are back in my favorite heckin' region that is far east asia that is japan that is Shizuoka… This particular tea is VERY RARE! because… Black teas are uncommon in japan… Because the japanese 95% of the time produce green tea… Because because because… They just do that for some reason The tea isn't anything special, it's similar to other black teas, although it prides itself with either a sweet-wine flavor when brewed with a colder water or a very intense lemony flavor when brewed with a hotter water! Waow! I think the tea is great, very good, the best, I would give it a 4/5 maybe it lacks in something, I just do not know what it lacks
Mingjian long jing is the most popular chinese green tea so far, it is harvested on 5th of april and usually if of higher tea quality. Lightly roasted and with a slight sweetness to it, I am sure it could be adored by many, the aroma is that of NUTS whilst the taste is also that of NUTS. I am sure everyone would love this tea if they just gave it a try! 5/5.
The tea that I speak of today is a very popular type of tea, it is a high (as in produced and grown in a mountainous region) black taiwanese tea, that is best brewed in a gaiwan 5g/100ml with first infusions being aroun 10-20 seconds long. The tea is very surprising, simce the smell and the taste of metanol is visibly present within this tea, amd the more times you brew the same bunch of leaves, the less noticable is the bitter taste of the tea and more noticable is the metanol/aloe taste of it, and also the aftertaste stays in your mouth for a long time and also tastes like mint. Overall I think this tea might be a must have forntea lovers like me, since it's a completley diffrent experience than for example brewing a normal da hong pao. I give it a 4.5/5
This particular tea is a white tea that is rolled into small compressed tea balls, it's best served in a gaiwan. It's a great tea with a great arrangement of flavors; sweet, fruity, acidic it's all in one of these balls, it's a great tea overall and I would give it a 4/5!
This tea comes from Japan, it is a normal green tea with added fried rice. The fried rice adds more sweetness to the tea, but it is quite hard to clean up after brewing a cup as it sticks. This tea is overall great for beginners, as it is a good tasting tea that is quite affordable and would please many with its aroma. I would personally give it a 4/5 as it is not an ambitious or premium tea, but for its price it is definitley worth it.
This particular tea is a roasted oolong, it was created in taiwan, which is a real heckin' country, by a young teamaster. The tea's taste is very specific and not everyone will enjoy it, but I think it's good enough for atleast a try, this tea tastes primarly like a bitter honey comb and also smells like it with a bit of a smokey aroma, it also has hints of pumpkin at the first brews but at the end it turns into a watermelon. Personally this tea is great, but not the best of the best, that is why I give it a 4/5
Wild Georgian tea is a black tea picked in an abandoned tea farm in the caucasian country if Georgia. This tea is very unique, as normally georgian teas are simple, yet this one is quite complex. The aroma smells like berries, just like most of the georgian teas, but the taste of the tea is quite deep and hard to explain, I guess you'll have to try it for yourself!!! 4/5
Kamairicha is a Japanese green tea made in the chinese style, which is frying the leafs on a pan. The taste of this tea is intense, refreshing, a tad bit sweet and like the ocean or whatever the taste is called honestly I don't care about that particular note. The aroma is like any other green tea, maybe smells less like a chicken. Honestly the best part about this tea is the aftertaste, but it's not like a full aftertaste like in matai gushu dian hong, it's more of a dry aftertaste, still good, though. I'll give it a 4/5
Guishou lubaoshi is a Chinese green tea rolled into little balls, they have gone through a lite process that oolong teas go through to become oolongs, but the tea stayed a green tea. The tea's flavor is very surprising, quite weird actually, in a positive way of course, the first brew has a noticable sweet taste forming on the end of your tounge, it tastes like some sort of a sweet cream, then on the 2nd brew slight notes of wine-like aftertaste begin to show, and on the 3rd brew the tea becomes a little weaker, but is still enjoyable thanks to its aftertaste. The aroma of this tea, atleast to me, smells very nostalgic. I have no idea why, but it does, it smells kind of like some sort of a weird bubble gum with hints of sweetness and flowers. The aftertaste is very good too, although doesn't stay very long in your mouth, still a very good tea. I would give this tea a 5/5, not only because of everything listed above but also because it very cheap for a high quality tea like this, only 5 dollars for 50g of tea (10 units, 30 brews of tea per 250 ml).
This green tea that I have just bought tastes very similar to last week's tea, which was Guizhou Lubaoshi, althought this one has an additional taste of NUTS! Overall it is a great tea, the aroma isn't anything special, but for the price it's worth it I think. 4/5
Long Jing is a Chinese green tea that's uhh it's very cheap yeah, that's about it It tastes like a green tea of course and has an aftertaste of nuts of some sorts but that's about it, yeah, 3/5
Kenya Black Mountain is a black tea from Kenya, I bought it for the 20th week of this series because I just wanna share how much I love niggers and how much I appriciate them. This black tea has quite a strong, bitter taste which not many people like, although it has a noticable citrusy flavor, with some methanol and fruit flavors added. It is quite a rich tea, and the smell is like that of a mint chocolate, it's not that expensive and it's good for daily usage, 4/5.
Tencha is a type of green tea that matcha is made out of, the tea tastes like matcha of course, has a great savory taste and is very refreshing, you can cold brew it and all that, it's quite expensive doe, 4/5 maybe just buy matcha
This white tea from nepal is quite an interesting tea, because it has a peppery and mushroomy aroma, after contact with water, this tea lets out a more citrusy smell. The taste of this tea is delicate, yet rich, it has a sweet flavor with hints of pineapple and lime. I'd personally give it a 4/5.
Huangshan Maofeng is a chinese green tea that I love very much it is very good I like it, the taste at first is rather bitter but the aftertaste is very sweet and awesome, the aroma of this tea is that of herbs and nuts, this tea id quite expensive but I don't mind that, I would personally give this tea a 5/5
This japanese tea that I bought today is a green tea. This green tea is kind of bitter, but has a nice sweet finish that reminds me of tropical fruits and alike, gave it to my grandpa and he said that it's good so I trust him on that. The aroma of the tea is sweet, sweeter than that of a sencha's therefore I think it's worth buying this tea. The leaves of this tea are similar to kamairicha's leaves but that doesn't really matter, just a little fact. Anyways, I'd give this tea a 4/5 because I just drank it and I'm not fully set on it yet.
This chinese little tea is rolled up into small balls that confuse me to the max because 2 teaspoons of the tea weighs about 7 or 8 grams instead of 5 or 6, but anyways, this tea is called an organic milk oolong because that's what it is, the aroma is that of sweet milk and flowers, and the taste is subtle but sweet and creamy. This tea was quite expensive for a 'teen like me, but it still was very good, that is why I am giving it a 5/5
Jiuqu Hongmei is a chinese black tea with a strong aroma and a smooth taste, at first smell and taste, it reminded me of another tea I reviewed called "Bagua Hong Shui" Both these teas have a strong aroma that remind me of freshly baked bread skin and both have a malty fruity taste, but the diffrence being that Bagua has pumpkin notes while Jiuqu Hongmei has notes of plum. This tea, for it's price, is very good and I think everyone interested in tea shoukd try it atleast once, I give it a 5/5
This little chinese tea is an oolong that grows on rock and a mountain or whatever, it has a nice smooth taste that reminds me of caramel and a great sweet and mineral-like after taste, the aroma of this tea has visible baked and flowery notes. If I were to compare this tea to another one, I would compare it to Da Hong Pao, as both these teas are rock teas meaning they have additional minerals, they also have a similar baked aroma but the flavor and the texture of the brew differ. This tea was pretty surprising as I have expected a stronger taste, rather than a smooth one, personally I love it 5/5
This delicious japanese tea that I have bought today is a Gyokuro tea and uh, that means it's been shaded before harvest for like 3 weeks or so, yeah. The taste of this tea is basically what's already in most sencha teas, which is a sea like and savory smell and taste, but this one also has a hint of fruits in it, it was slightly acidic so I think I felt notes of lemon, but that's about it. The most noticable thing about this tea (other than the price and brewing specifications) is the way it makes you feel relaxed almost instantly, and the sweet-fruity aftertaste. Overall this tea is great, but not really for me because I'm poor, 4/5.
This oolong, this light oolong… This, this compressed light oolong tea has a very strong honey lavender aroma, its taste is somewhat root-y? Spicy maybe, maybe even citrusy, I'm not really good at breaking up complex teas but anyways, it was a very good tea, brewed the same leafs for about 3 hours in a gaiwan, did brews for 20 sec 96 C water, yeah, 5/5
This tea that I brewed today was a pu erh from a yunnan province, I know, shocking. It had an aroma that reminded me of cinnamon, ginger and oranges, it's taste however was somewhat bitter, earthy and even creamy, not in texture but in taste itself, as with any pu erh, it stuck to my throat quite so, and it's still on my throat's walls. The tea was cheap, the aroma was strong and so was the taste, sadly I wasn't able to brew this tea as much as my own aged pu erh, but that's alright, 5/5
This little green chinese tea is the best of the best in terms of Long Jings, as any long jing, it has visible aroma, with visible hints of chestnuts, walnuts, some flowers and all this kind of stuff nobody cares about, this tea has a sweet-bitter flavor which is pretty rare and also is very very very expensive, I would give it a 3/5 it's like 150 dollars for 125 grams
This chinese tea from the province of yunnan blah blah blah it's taste is sweet, visibly fruity and intense, the aroma of it is flowery and honey like I hate the Han race that tea costs 10 dollars for 8 grams it's literally one time brew sesh for 10 dollars although it does taste nice, 4/5
This chinese green tea is made in sychuan, it is very refreshing and also very expensive. The taste is that of a cucumber, it has a visible sweet-bitter taste, and the aroma is how it tastes like, it is a premium tea with many diffrent notes but for a normal tea drinker I wouldn't reccomend it, 3/5
A long jing tea, or a dragonwell tea is a chinese green tea, it is iconic for its nutty flavor and aroma, blah blah blah who even cares anymore I haven't been able to even brew myself my tea because I have so much work to do I'm unavailable for entire days please help me 5/5
Awa Bancha is a japanese tea, one of the truly fermented teas which is a rarity in the tea world. Its taste is that of a sour green apple, but without the juiciness of the apple itself of course and the aroma is also fruity or fruit like, honestly not everyone is gonna enjoy this tea but I will still give it a 4/5
Keemun gongfu is a chinese black tea, meant to be brewed in the gongfu cha style, it has a cholocate aroma and a sweet-ish taste with hints of cocoa, it's a pretty cheap tea that's pretty good, so I'd rate it a 4/5
