Yunnan Bo Nay Tea from Foojoy

Style: Pu-erh Tea – Region: Yunnan, China

70 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 11th, 2011

This pu'er tea is kind of a flat and earthy tea (maybe even a little bready) with pretty simple characteristics, but it has nice qualities overall, and is very calming. Overall, it left a good impression on me.

I read one review of this tea that complained about it being "dusty." The photo accompanying the review sh...

Shoumei White Tea from Foojoy

Style: Shou Mei White Tea – Region: China

67 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 8th, 2011

This Foojoy Shoumei has similar color to their Bai Mudan. The aroma is milder in the Shoumei, and has a hint of fruit. The taste of the Shoumei is also milder than that of their Bai Mudan, but very smooth and with a hint of sweetness. Overall, though, these teas are very similar. This is perhaps the milder and slightly...

WuYi Mtn. Oolong Tea (Wuyi Oolong) from Foojoy

Style: Oolong Tea – Region: Wuyi, Fujian, China

70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 8th, 2011

I have been curious about this tea for awhile, as I have not seen Wuyi wulong teas available in tea bag form before. I was curious to see what the basic character of this tea is, as there are several major types of such teas from the Wuyi region. I expected it to either be of a Shuixian or Dahongpao type.

This Foojo...

Lichee Black Tea from Foojoy

Style: Lychee Black Tea – Region: China

63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 8th, 2011

I have been keeping my eyes open for China Black Tea in the area, but with no luck. Foojoy's Lichee Black Tea is available, but I have been very hesitant about buying any type of "flavored" teas. In any case, I have tried a few cups of this type now.

My only other experience with lichee flavored teas is a lichee dan...

Picture of Bai Mudan White Tea

Bai Mudan White Tea from Foojoy

Style: White Peony Tea – Region: Fujian, China

73 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Jun. 25th, 2011

The aroma of this tea is a bit mild and slightly floral. The aroma and taste are both delicate and refreshing, and a bit toasty. This Bai Mudan has no bitterness or astringency, and is quite full and smooth, with some subtle sweetness. Much better than supermarket white teas, to be sure. From the first cup, I like this...

Genmaicha Green Tea from Foojoy

Style: Genmaicha – Region: China

63 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
May. 29th, 2011

My first Genmaicha. Usually I drink Chinese teas, or at least Chinese style teas, so this is a bit of a departure for me.

This tea does not retain much of its Sencha characteristics, or at least they are somewhat covered up in the general style. The tea is brewed to a light color, a bit surprising for the aroma and ...

China Green Tea from Foojoy

Style: Green Tea – Region: China

60 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 5/5
May. 29th, 2011

This tea has a mild and slightly vegetal aroma. The taste is mild, smooth, and slightly sweet. The tea brews to a light greenish / golden color. Overall, this is a mild but nice green tea.

Originally I wrote a pretty scathing review of this tea, most of which I have removed. Taken for what it is, this is a mild and ...

Picture of China Classic Oolong

China Classic Oolong from Foojoy

Style: Oolong Tea – Region: Fujian, China

70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
May. 21st, 2011

The Chinese name printed on the packaging for China Classic Oolong sheds some light on this tea. It reads as Fuzi Zhongguo Minnan Wulong Cha, or "Foojoy Chinese Minnan Wulong Tea." Here, Minnan refers to the southern region of Fujian province. Therefore, a more accurate English name for this tea, following the Chinese,...

China Jasmine Green Tea from Foojoy

Style: Jasmine Tea – Region: China

67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
May. 21st, 2011

For my first cup of this tea, I used water that had just finished coming to a boil, and then I accidentally forgot about the cup for at least five minutes. It turned out very nicely, though. The tea brews to a deep golden color, and is very fragrant. The aroma is essentially similar to other jasmine teas I have had. Th...

Lungching Green Tea from Foojoy

Style: Dragon Well (Long Jing) – Region: China

80 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
May. 21st, 2011

When seeing the price and packaging of these Foojoy teas, my initial impression was that they must be low quality at such a price point. Like my experience with Tenren, this initial impression has turned out to be wrong.

This Longjing is a fine representative of the style in a teabag. The tea brews to a golden color...
