Jasmine Green Tea from Rishi Tea
Style: Jasmine Tea – Region: Hubei, China90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 12th, 2013
If you enjoy Jasmine Tea, then I would definitely give this one a try. It is a very good value at approx. $4 an ounce, less than half the price of Rishi's Yin Hao Jasmine Green Tea (which is also excellent). For me, the biggest difference is that you get a bit more flavor of the green tea base, and the Jasmine flavor i...

China Breakfast from Rishi Tea
Style: Yunnan Red – Region: Yunnan, China77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5

This is a very wonderful tea, reasonably priced (about $4 per ounce on their website at the date of this review) and having appeal to both tea newbies and veterans alike.

One of the things I like about Rishi's teas i...

I am really fond of this tea. I purchased a small bag of this from Rishi a few months back, and have grown to really appreciate the full body with it's roasty/nutty/grainy flavors and aroma. It has sweet notes as they describe it, especially when you steep it a second or third time.
I tend to brew this Chinese styl...
Ancient Golden Yunnan from Rishi Tea
Style: Yunnan Gold – Region: Yunnan, China83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 20th, 2011
This has become one of the staples in my cupboard over the past year. It is one of those highly adaptable teas that seems to appeal equally to friends who are tea purists, and those who just want a "good cuppa' tea" as well.
Bold, smooth, slight malty flavor with a lingering caramel aftertaste. A very nice balance...
