Follow me as I delve deeper into the world of loose leaf tea. I’m not an expert, but I try to document my journey as much as possible with this blog. I mostly focus on unblended types of Chinese tea.
The Bang Wei Chronicle from Xin An Chu is a great experience if you want to taste the effect of time on puerh tea. The 2008 and 2011 versions of this tea are similar, but time has changed these teas into a completely different experience.
The 2014 Wuliang Gushu was an enjoyable, but subtle tea. Flavors went from bitter to fruity and the aftertaste had an intense fruitiness to it.
The Uplift oolong tea from Leaves With Hugs offers an uplifting energy with floral and buttery flavours. The finish and aftertaste make this tea even better as it stays with you for quite some time.
The 2018 Laoshu Gongmei offered a pleasant experience with sweet flavors and good body feels. Flavors went from strawberry jam to hay.
The Kuki Hojicha from Nio Teas has to be one of the best Hojicha teas I have ever tried. Notes of cofee, hot chocolate and burned sugar.
The Silent Hymn Liu Bao from Leaves With Hugs is a warming liu bao with a refreshing twist. Warming camphor with notes of ginseng and beets.
