And we’re at the final tea of the tea haul! I normally wouldn’t buy black tea because I already have so much (black tea being what most of my family drinks), but I’m also testing out teas for my cousin’s tea bar and this tea was one of the contenders. Keemun black tea is a… Read More Trying Keemun Black Tea
This is one of the teas that I was most excited for in the tea haul! Well, I was excited for the dancongs as well, but I wasn’t as excited as I was for the yellow tea because: I didn’t realise how special dancongs were until after I started drinking and looking into them I… Read More Yellow Tea: Huo Shan Huang Ya (霍山黄芽)
I’m back with another tea from our tea haul! I’ve finished both dancongs, so the remaining teas would be this green tea, a yellow tea, and a black tea (all Chinese teas – something I’m not too familiar with). I first tried Liu An Gua Pian (六安瓜片) at Parchmen Academy’s Chocolate and Cheese Pairing with… Read More Tasting Liu An Gua Pian: One of China’s Top Ten Teas (中国十大名茶)
Apart from Duck Shit Dancong, my latest tea haul included Milanxiang, a tea I chose because the name sounded appealing. I’ve already covered the basics of Dancong in my post on Duck Shit Dancong, so I’ll just do an introduction of Milanxiang in this one. What is Milanxiang Dancong? Written as 蜜兰香, Milanxiang translates into… Read More Trying Milanxiang Dancong
Cher and I did our first group tea buy recently! Cher has quite a few suppliers that she gets tea from – what this means is that while her cost of tea per 100g is pretty cheap, the overall amount is pretty high because she has to buy a minimum amount of tea. But since… Read More My First Duck Shit Oolong (+ What is Dancong?)
I just got some new teas but since it’ll take some time before I get around to trying them, I thought I’d share some of the teas I’ve been drinking. This post was inspired by the Teas I Drink in a Day series by Tea Is a Wish and The Tea Library (although I drank… Read More Teas I’ve Been Drinking (Quick Tea Reviews #1)
After trying my first raw puer, I felt like having some ripe puer. I generally only have it at restaurants, and we have one cake that we got in Zhuhai lying around somewhere. But for convenience sake, and because I’m still not over the novelty of ball puer, I took some of the ripe ball… Read More Ripe Puer Balls from 云元谷
Ethel gave me this flowering tea earlier this year and I finally found some time to try it! This tea is from Wu Tsang in Taiwan! I love flowering teas so I was really looking forward to this. Apparently it’s from Fujian and you just need to steep it for 2 – 3 minutes. The tea can… Read More Comparing Two Blooming Teas
Today’s tea is one that I received from a friend after her trip to China (I am so lucky to have lots of tea loving friends). This is an osmanthus oolong from Made Tea for U (得心得茶). To be honest, I haven’t heard of this brand before but their tea tin is just gorgeous! I… Read More Osmanthus Oolong by Made Tea For U (得心得茶)
