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…
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”…
Crimson Lotus Tea’s 2019 Radio KXQM is a sheng puerh made from small arbour material that comes from a garden near the top of Kunlu Shan. In my limited experience, I have loved all the Kunlu sheng that I have tried and this is a tea I wanted to try last year, but I slept…
