Picture of Nepal 2nd Flush 2014 Golden Tips Black Tea

Nepal 2nd Flush 2014 Golden Tips Black Tea from What-Cha

Style: Black Tea – Region: Nepal

90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 28th, 2015

The aroma rich, a touch on the sweet side, but more rich than sweet. The notes are primarily roasted peanuts, malt, and a touch of sweet potatoes and stewed fruit. At the end there is the most delicate note of rose and pepper, I run into pepper quite often, but the notes of rose were a pleasant surprise.

Ok, first s...

Nepal 2nd Flush 2014 Dew Drops Green Tea from What-Cha

Style: Green Tea – Region: Nepal

80 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 7th, 2015

The aroma is a bit sweet, a blend of toasted sesame and freshly cut grass, a bit of distant floral and a touch of mineral at the finish. The tight little balls did not give up their scent easily, it required much sniffing, but the aroma that did come off of them was light and clean.

The taste of the first steep is ...

Nepal 2nd Flush 2014 Cannon Ball Green Tea from What-Cha

Style: Green Tea – Region: Nepal

83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 29th, 2014

The aroma of the leaf balls is very green and quite sweet, there are notes of cut grass, freshly broken green stems, a tiny bit of hay, and a nice sharp finishing note of citrus. It has a very refreshing aroma that I hope carries over to the brewed tea.

The first steep can be summed up best as odd yet refreshing! As...

Nepal 2nd Flush 2014 Sencha Green Tea from What-Cha

Style: Sencha – Region: Nepal

87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 1st, 2014

The aroma of the needles is as beautiful as the leaves, very light and delicate with notes of chestnuts, fresh hay, mown grass, and an ocean breeze. I have such a weakness for teas that have a marine note to their taste or aroma, it instantly transports me to the beach and that makes me immensely happy. I think I am ju...

Nepal 1st Flush 2014 Silver Oolong Tea from What-Cha

Style: Oolong Tea – Region: Nepal

83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 24th, 2014

The aroma of these fluffy and silvery leaves is summed up as light, with notes of orange blossoms, cane sugar, a touch of undefined flowers, and a tiny hint of herbaceous green. It is like a blend of white tea, oolong, and delicate green tea, when I say that it is light, the aroma itself is very defined and has a prese...

Nepal Monsoon Flush 2014 Pearl Oolong Tea from What-Cha

Style: Oolong Tea – Region: Nepal

90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 10th, 2014

The aroma of the little pearls is not very strong, I catch little whiffs of aromas, much like the tightly curled pearls are hiding their secrets from me. There are gentle notes of nuttiness and fruitiness, a mix of stone fruit and citrus, with just a tiny hint of sesame seeds.

The first steep is incredibly gentle a...

Tamarind Pop from Butiki Teas

Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Nepal

67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 22nd, 2014

The aroma is leafy, like fresh vegetation, this fades to vanilla sweetness and a nutty tone. At the end of the sniff the aroma is sweet and a touch floral. I do not smell much in the way of tamarind, but it has been a long time since I sniffed any.

Tasting this tea gave me a bit of a surprise, because it reminds me ...

Picture of Nepal Tea Flowers

Nepal Tea Flowers from Upton Tea Imports

Style: Tea Flowers – Region: Nepal

87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 3rd, 2013

The aroma of the dried flowers is very evocative of straw flowers or chrysanthemum, slightly woody. The aroma of the liquid still has the woodsy quality but also brings in slight mineral and mossy.

The flavor of the tea flowers is incredibly sweet, not at all floral and reminds me of a mixture of Scuppernongs and A...
