drank Sun Moon Lake T-18 by Camellia Sinensis
775 tasting notes

This is another awesome sample sent to me by VariaTEA :)

I’m slowly but surely catching up on all the things and this tea has really helped boost my motivation after hours of listening to lectures on environmental assessment.

This tea has a perfect subtle black tea flavour for me today. Absolutely no astringency (yay) and smooth. It’s not too intense in flavour, just light and smooth – perfect for any time of day.

I actually think I’ll have to check out this tea company – I’ve never ordered from them before, but this tea has inspired me to at least look over their website!

Thanks VariaTEA!

I really like Camellia Sinensis. They also have great teaware that is pretty affordable as well :)

I really need to eventually order from Camellia Sinensis, I’ve been interested in their flavored teas for years but never ordered for some reason…

I also like Camellia Sinensis and have ordered a lot of tea from them over the years. Their Shan Lin Xi, Mi Xiang Hong Cha, Feng Huang Hong Cha, and most of their Darjeelings are good.

Thanks for introducing me to the VariaTEA!

I’m going to be checking their webpage tonight I think Cameron :)

Leafhopper that’s awesome, thanks for the suggestions! I love straight black teas, so I’ll check some of those out. :)

Bio

A few of my favourite things: animals, the ocean, science (I’m currently doing my MSc in biology), travel, all things summer, and of course – tea!

I love chatting biology, so feel free to ask me about what I study or follow my instagram @biologistcourtney!

I love black teas and this is what I’m usually drinking. I pretty well always drink my tea without anything added.

I’m also fond of herbals, oolongs, and subtly flavoured greens. Whites are also enjoyable, and I’m always looking for a replacement for my all-time favourite Butiki’s White Rhino.

Pu’erhs, rooibos (specifically red, I’m more open to green), honeybush, and matés are not my favourite. I tend to avoid them altogether unless others find them so amazing they shouldn’t be missed.

Likes:
Creaminess, toffee, cacao (true dark chocolate flavour), coconut (true coconut flavour), and rhubarb. I’m open to flavoured teas but they can’t be cloying or fake/candy like.

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, bergamot, flowers (rose and jasmine), hibiscus is hit and miss.
