I sent some Oolongs to LP & Daylon for a blind test. It was my first curating something like this & I learnt that for these to work best you need to send more than one session. Some I didnt even have 10g for both & I think 10g each should have been the minimum.
Anyway here are the teas:
1 Ling Tou Village ‘Bai Ye’Dan Cong – YS Spring 2016
2 Lao Cong Ba Xian – JTS 2015
3 Wu Yi Zi Hong Pao – YS
4 Honey Mt. Royal Oolong – Imperial Teas of Lincoln 2014
5 2014 oriental beauty competition grade – Mountain tea
6 2014 Ancestor Mt. gabalong – imperial Teas of Lincoln 2014
7 AAA milan – JTS 2015
8 Lao Cong Ya Shi – JTS 2015
Bonus puerh:
Sheng – 2014 Rui Gong Tian Chao – Chadao

Shou – 2009 Gong Ting Seven Son – Abbey Tea

Eight was a balled oolong… a Gaba. You sure you did’t mix 6 and 8? Looks like I did well, even got close on the aged sheng guess as they are close in style. Fun journey, now I must up it even more with direct stuff : )
no, I defo didnt! I thought you got yours mixed up though somehow when you review – the last two were done on different times as both JTS & Daylon loved the number 8.
99% my writing was terrible – I barely ever actually write by hand anymore.. prolly my scruffy writing man
things I learnt 2: print better stickers
No worries, t was fun : )
Sweet. Apparently, I like me some duck s$%(^. I haven’t tried the Pu-Erhs yet since I’ve been waiting for the right time for those. I’ve only had weaker Pu blends once a day or a series of oolongs to keep caffiene at a minimum level because I have a hard time sleeping during school.
And also, I enjoyed the selection deeply. :) Thank you Rasseru
No problemo. I enjoyed doing it a lot, yeah that ya shi is proper nice stuff.
