This Ma Liu Mi oolong tea is pretty good. It has some floral flavor and is neither too intense nor heavy. It’s good with some sweetener. I wouldn’t personally get it again, but I wouldn’t not drink it if it was offered to me. It’s OK is my opinion. I would recommend it for people…

I don’t have much to say on the Wen Shan Pouchong—it’s a nice oolong tea. It has a sort of sweet, grassy flavor. It didn’t become bitter or too strong after a long steep. It’s a smooth, easy drink. It doesn’t take the spot as my favorite oolong or tea, but I’d definitely drink it…

I’m a frequent Adagio tea shopper and ever since learning about their fandom blends I’ve been intrigued with making my own teas for my book characters. I finally got around to doing it and made the main six characters of The Adventures of the Trinity and the One book series (which I wrote if you…

Another pearls tea! I was hesitant on trying these White Pearls after the Green Dragon Pearls. I was worried this tea would also be bitter and not have a decent flavor. Thankfully, my worries weren’t validated! These pearls do not get bitter and have a delectable sweet, floral taste that doesn’t overload you (though maybe…

The Green Dragon Pearls tea come in these large woven balls. Hence…pearls. The pearls are maybe the size of a quarter if it were a sphere. They are tightly put together and have a faint green/floral smell. Regardless of steeped too long or not, the tea is bitter. Really bitter at times. Even with that…

The White Darjeeling Tea is actually a white tea unlike the White Monkey. And it’s a Darjeeling tea too. Crazy! The leaves are of a golden yellow-green mix. The flavor is mellow and not overpowering. Even after steeping it for awhile, it did not get bitter. It was a little savory-sweet at times. Not much…

The White Monkey Tea is actually a green tea and it looks like one with its dark green stands. It has a sort of wet grassy smell. Kind of seaweed like…like the aroma of an aquarium. As for flavor…well, as usual with many teas, the White Monkey tea gets really bitter after steeping it for…

The Golden Flower Tea comes as these tightly woven ovalish green ‘balls’. There are flecks of copper ‘golden’ hues to them. It smells a bit floral…floral, but thicker and heavier for lack of a better term. The floral smell is accompanied by a somewhat floral taste. In addition to having a floral taste, it is…

The Pi Lo Chun Green Tea comes as a cluster of little partial swirly-like leaves. The leaves are primarily green with bits of white on them and have a grassy smell to them. The flavor itself is generally pretty mild bodied and grassy, but it can be bitter on the aftertaste. The more it steeps,…

Okay, yes, in my White Symphony tea review, I said that I had no need to try the White Peony tea since the White Symphony tea was so good. But I did anyway. …And I pretty much feel the same after trying it. The White Peony Tea, even more so than the White Symphony Tea,…

The Hunan Gold tea is an absolutely delightful green tea. It doesn’t look green—it looks gold, like its name indicates. It doesn’t taste like a normal green tea either. It has this airy, sweet taste, but sort of…husky quality to it as well. The Hunan Gold tea has decent enough of body and flavor that…

The White Symphony tea looks like a mess. By that, I mean it has things other than leaves in it. Seems like it is filled with debris that shouldn’t really be there. You’re paying for the leaves, right? Well, no, not really with this tea. The other stuff accompanying the leaves are buds that are…

Oooooh…this tea…. it’s so… okay, I’ll stop. Ooooh Darjeeling is an oolong from….Darjeeling, India. Who could have guessed? I can’t guess the reason for the ‘oooh’ part of the name. I suppose they were trying to give those the sense of awe and wonder before tasting it? Not sure. All I know is what I…

The Ali Shan is a prestigious tea, or rather, high end. It comes from high places. Literally. It is a high mountain oolong. A prized one. So it’s a bit pricey, but is it worth it? Does its lofty origins actually create a superb flavor? Maybe. It has a floral flavor—sort of like a Jasmine.…

Hojicha tea does not look like a typical green tea. As in, it is not green and it is neither black nor whiteish. It’s brown. Why? Because it has been roasted! And because of that roasting, it has a hearty, toasty flavor. It’s savory. It’s a strong bodied tea because of that toasty, sort of…

Moonlight White Tea, also known as White Moonlight, or Yue Guang Bae, or Yunnan white, is not, as you may think from the name, a truly white tea. It’s processed like a Pu’er tea, but isn’t a true Pu’er either. It’s complicated. It exists in a world where people get into arguments over technicalities and…

The Zomba Pearls are an African-grown white tea. Like Jasmine Pearls, they come rolled up. Zomba Pearls don’t so much as come in balls as little tubes. After hitting the water, they begin to unfurl a bit from their initial state. Each infusion pulls it apart a bit more. It’s expected as part of the…
