It has been far too long since I wrote a tea review, but I decided to start this year by opening one of the teas that I’ve been saving since my trip to Japan last year. This is an interesting tea because it’s an oolong – not very common in Japan – and I had… Read More Tea Review: Sayama Oolong by Shimizu-En
I bought this tea when I bought my 30 Chinese tea samples, but I’ve just been so busy with those and I never even thought about cracking open the Tieguanyin. But I had some time the past week and thought it was time to finally drink and review it! From what I can tell, this… Read More Tea Review: Tieguanyin by 老茶农
This should be the second last tea in this Renegade Tea sample box! It’s certainly the last oolong, anyway. Here’s what the Renegade Tea Farmers have to say about this tea: “Red Sunrise has an intense orange colour and the aroma of fresh tobacco. This well-oxidized oolong has the flavour combination of sweet fruits and… Read More Tea Review: Red Sunrise by Renegade Tea
Hello tea friends! Things have been slow on the tea front, but I am working on a teapot post that I hope will be useful. Today though, I just want to share about a tea that I tried recently. The tea is Muscat Oolong aka a grape-flavoured oolong! I was really excited for this since… Read More Tea Review: Muscat Oolong by Karel Capek
Some time ago, I did a quick review of two Renegade Teas that I tried with my friend. Today, I want to bring you a slightly more detailed review of an oolong that I tried recently! Here is the tea description from Renegade Tea’s website: “This oolong has the perfect balance between the silky nature… Read More Tea Review: Miss Ohh Long by Renegade Tea
This is the third and final tea that I bought from Renegade Tea Estate, and a part of me is a little sad because I’ve really been enjoying these teas! But, I do have an advent calendar that starts tomorrow, so it’s probably for the best that I keep my tea stash to a somewhat… Read More Tea Review: Prodigy Mesame by Renegade Tea Estate
I normally try my best to open and finish teas relatively quickly, but for some reason, this tea has been hanging around for at least two years, waiting for the time I needed it, which would be now. I was studying for a final and needed something a bit sweeter than a black tea –… Read More Tea Review: Tie Guan Yin from Cha Tei
After almost three months, I’m finally back with a tea review! It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to open a new packet of tea so I had very high hopes for this one. The Taiwan Four Season ‘Red Pearl’ Oolong from What Cha was a mystery tea that I ordered last year… Read More Tea Review: Taiwan Four Season ‘Red Pearl’ Oolong from What Cha
So, this is a bit embarrassing but turns out I have more teas to review! I thought I had finished most of the new-to-me Japanese teas and could start on my Karel Capek order, but I had completely forgotten about these teas from Satemwa! A while back, I got in contact with them to see… Read More Tea Review: Malawi Green Oolong from Satemwa Tea Estate
Continuing on with the tea reviews! I’ve still got another 2 Georgian teas before I’ve sampled everything in my What-Cha haul, and then I can move on to the Christmas teas (okay, getting ahead of myself). Today’s tea is from Jun Chiyabari, whom I follow on Instagram so I was really excited to try this!… Read More Tea Review: Jun Chiyabari’s Hand-Rolled Tippy Oolong Tea
