Tea reviews for tea drinkers
It’s been a while since I’ve had a Fangmingyuan sheng, but I came across a sample of their 2010 0812 while digging through my pumidor the other day. As it’s been sitting for a while, I’ve forgotten what drew me towards this tea in the first place so I’m going into this review more or…
Today I am going to do something I don’t usually do – write a review for a tea you can’t buy! In case missed it, White2Tea dropped their first batch of 2021 puerhs last week, and in the list of new teas I was surprised to see a 200 gram cake of The Thing Is….
Today I am dipping into my 2020 dragon ball samples from Bitterleaf Teas and giving out their Bonbon raw puerh a try. This sheng is interesting to me as they say it’s their closest 2020 production to 2019’s Pretty, Pretty, Pretty Good, which is a puerh that I absolutely love (I’ll be getting back on…
For the last few years the, White2Teas has sent out a “Hype” cake for their June tea club. Provided this year follows the same trend, you’ve got a few weeks to sign up if you want to take advantage of this, so I wanted to try out 2020 Green Hype to see how it’s sitting….
Every now and again I find myself browsing a couple different websites that sell factory cakes, as it’s something I haven’t really gotten into. I have tried out more than I have reviewed here, but still don’t think I have a grasp on, for example, what the classic 7542 taste is supposed to be. So…
Good morning! Today I am drinking Crimson Lotus Tea’s 2020 Baby Dragon sheng puerh. This tea is made with the same base material as their Slumbering Dragon puerh, but instead of being a single origin sheng, it’s blended to “harnesses the Slumbering Dragon essence and energy but is more approachable and affordable.” I’m a big…
Hi there! Long time no talk! Many times over the last year(ish) I have started writing up a “whats going on in my life and why are there no new reviews” post, but they have all ended up sitting as drafts or being deleted for one reason or another. The main reason is that this…
Oh hey there! Long time no see! It feels a bit weird just jumping right into a brand new review after six months of silence, but I don’t want to take up space here, so I’ll address that at a later date. Long story short, life has been a bit crazy for me, as I’m…
Tea Joint has a sale on right now, so I figured it would be a good time to try out another one of their puerhs. Today I am drinking their 2014 Ba Da Shan! As with the last Tea Joint review I did, this tea isn’t actually pressed by Tea Joint, but they source their…
Zheng Si Long’s 2018 Yi Shan Mo is a sheng puerh made from material from the Mansa region, which Tiago at Tea Encounter describes as being quite sweet, with a sticky-caramel type of vibe. I like a wide variety of puerh, but I love sweeter sheng so reading his wife describe it as “too sweet”…
