drank Golden Snail Yunnan Black Tea by Whispering Pines Tea Company
73 tasting notes

Oh Golden Snail, how much I love thee. This has grown to become one of my favorite black teas, hands down. Maybe not the smartest choice for a midnight cuppa, but in this case my strong craving trumped all logic. Tragically, what I have in my cup right now is the last of it :( Rather than order more of the pure Yummy Golden Goodness, I’ve just placed an order from Whispering Pines for the Earl Gold and the El Dorado Chai, which both use my dear heart as a base. I’m waiting impatiently for my order to come so I can witness firsthand how well my love plays with others ;)

Bio

If you count the bagged stuff, I’ve been a tea drinker for a long time. I first discovered the joys of loose leaf on a trip to London in 2014, and it’s all been downhill from there. I’m still in the phase where I want to try everything, and I’m still developing my tea personality.

Types of tea / tisanes I gravitate toward: black, green oolong, Japanese green, flavored teas (sweet, floral, fruity, minty, complex, you name it), rooibos, roasted mate, and many herbal and fruit combos.

Teas I need to try, try again, or keep trying: white, pu erh, dark oolong, pure Chinese green, mate

I’ll update soon with my rating system!
