I think I would have to say this is one of the best oolongs teas I’ve had!
The reason for this is I was able to get amazing flavor steep after steep. It was also my first time trying a roasted oolong.

i plan to steep this multiple times & add notes as I go

aroma- light floral

Steep Time
1 min- quite bland & lacks taste
2 min- I think my water may have been a bit too hot,this cup was fairly bitter
3 min- A lighter smoother brew with no bitterness. I let the boiled water cool for 3 minutes instead of 2 before re-steeping the tea
4 min- smooth still lightly flavored
5 min- same as the 4th steep no change

I’ve never had eggnog before but this matcha was amazing! I made it into a Hot Latte using vanilla soy milk.

Water: 8oz Boiling

Leaves: Various mixture of petals & fruit

Steep: 9m

Aroma: Citrus

Color: Deep Red

Taste: Compared to the other herbal fruit teas I’ve tried so far this one was a more citrus in both flavor & aroma. Yet true to the other teas it had a slight tartness to it as well.

This was my first lemongrass tea, the aroma was great lemon & ginger it was much more noticeable after the leaves had steeped. It was a pale colored tea & left me with very little flavor. I’m going to try brewing it again to see if I can get more flavor from it.

Water: 8oz

Leaves: medium sized flat leaves

Steep: 1m~2m

Aroma: Vegetable

Color: Light green

Taste: This is my second Japanese green tea, I was quite excited to try this one see that it was a good everyday type of tea from what i had read online. So i went a head to steep it the smell was nice and vegetable. One thing that I found quite surprising was the size of the leaves, they were larger than that other green teas I’ve tried. Overall this tea was very nice and packed quite a bit of flavor as well.

*Thank you Single Origin Teas for this sample!

Water: 8oz boiled 30s rinse

Leaves: tiny tea leaves

Steep: 2m

Aroma: Earthy

Color: Very dark brown

Taste: This is only my second Pureh tea so i wasn’t sure what to expect. I made sure to give it a 30s rinse before brewing. Then followed a 2 minute steeping the aroma is quite strong deep earthy scent. As for the taste it was burnt & bitter.

Water: 8oz boiled

Leaves: tiny tea leaves

Steep: 2-4 minutes

Aroma: regular black tea

Color: Deep golden yellow

Taste: I was happy to receive this in the mail & I was surprised at how large of a sample it was! I went to brewing later that evening to pair this with dinner that night. I can say the flavor of this tea wasn’t too strong but a nice & light. This is also the first tea that I managed tested out cold brewing for the first time and it worked just fine.

*Thank you Little Red Cup for the free sample

Water: 8oz at 180 degrees

Leaves: very tiny rolls of leaves

Steep: 1m

Aroma: Smokey

Color: Deep golden yellow

Taste: Once this tea was brew one thing that caught my eye right away was the color. It was the darkest green tea i’ve made with a yellow hue compared to the normal light almost clear liquid. The aroma was quite smokey almost similar to a Oolong but lighter. I didn’t really get too much taste from it.

Water: 8oz at 180 degrees

Leaves: very fine tightly would leaves

Steep: 1m,2m,3m,4m

Aroma: Vegetable like/Sencha

Color: Light Greenish yellow

Taste: The first thing I noticed about this tea is that it looked & smelled similar to Verdant Tea’s Laoshan Green!! As I got ready to brew I used 1 tsp of tea leaves then added my hot water & steeped for 1m. Removing the lid off my pot really brought out the lovely aroma! The taste was very light and refreshing! Even with multiple infusions I never had any bitterness!
