Kawaii433 drank Ripe Pu'er Mini-Tuocha Variety Package by Mandala Tea

351 tasting notes

10 mini-touchas in the 2 oz bag. I can match 3 or 4 with some on their site but not the others so I have no idea what I’m drinking hehe. I’ve sampled 3 of them so far and so far they are all good ripe pu’er. I wouldn’t mind having a bag of this around all the time because of the ease of it. I just have to pop one in my gaiwan. I’ve tried a variety mini-toucha bag from eBay once and they weren’t of good quality at all. I just wish it came with a way to identify them so I know which one I can buy more of it if it’s a favorite.

Bio

Longtime casual tea drinker. In the past, mainly Sencha, Matcha. I’m currently into Oolong, Black & Pu’erh.

Gongfu cha is the main way I prepare my tea (gaiwan or Yixing teapot). I drink all tea… Usually unflavored. I do try some flavored now. I don’t like artificial sweeteners.

Favorite stores: TeaVivre, What-Cha, Mandala Tea, Yunnan sourcing, White2Tea, Lupicia. (Note: I love the teaware from TeaVivre and Yunnan sourcing.) Good experiences with 52Teas, Harney & Sons, Whispering Pines

Flavors I dislike are artificial flavors, especially artificial sweeteners. Strong lavender, violet, any strong floral-perfumey tea; cantaloupe, ripe papaya, sweet honeydew.

Can handle a little of the following: Rose, licorice, anise, jasmine, mint, spearmint, peppermint, leather.

Favorite flavors: Citrus fruits (especially grapefruit & tangerines), granny smith apple, bananas, guava, mango, tamarind, watermelon, stonefruits, all fruits except cantaloupe, chocolate, caramel, vanilla, milk, cinnamon, creme, bread, nuts, toasted, roasted.

I generally don’t add anything to my teas.

As I explore, my ratings may shift. 90+ generally means I’ll keep it on my shelf.
