I’ve never had Laoshan black before but it might be my new love. It certainly stands up to the citrus flavor while adding something delicious all its own. It’s a terrific exception the usual situation where I can’t taste the tea in my flavored teas. Because I apparently compare everything to supermarket teas, this would surprisingly not replace Earl Grey in the cabinet – it would replace Lemon Lift. It’s expertly blended though, with this incredible tea base, bright citrus, and gentle rose. I look forward to trying any other Laoshan I can get my hands on. Mmm.
This is You :-D
Profile
Bio
I love cooking, gardening, photography, studying languages, alleys, riding bikes everywhere, snowboarding, travel, dogs, and oddly, housekeeping (as much as one can with another career). Also working on the lifelong dream of starting a business.
If I could only drink four teas ever again, they would be Black Beauty (Mandala), Huang Zhi Xiang Phoenix Mountain Dancong (Verdant), Silver Buds Yabao (Verdant), and Shan Lin Xi Concubine (Eco-Cha, at least the fall 2013). These teas are ridiculous.
Current tea shops under exploration:
Verdant
Mandala
Camellia Sinensis
Wish list:
Mountain Tea
Teavivre
Den’s Tea
Taiwan Tea Crafts
Tea Drunk
Suggestions welcome!

I still have a few cups worth of this one, which I enjoy from time to time, mostly in a bubble bath :)
I just noticed you’re in Orlando. My mom & dad live in Apopka :)
Had to look that up, as I’ve lived in Florida for three weeks. :) So close!
