Mengku Palace Ripened Golden Buds Loose Pu-erh Tea 2007 from TeaVivre
Style: Ripened (Shou) Pu-erh – Region: Shuangjiang, Yunnan, China60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Aug. 9th, 2012
The dry leaf of this looks unusually wiry and tippy for a ripe Pu-erh, with a lot of golden tips. It is quite aromatic, and the aroma is typical for ripe Pu-erh, with perhaps only a faint suggestion of more complexity.
Upon brewing, 1 teaspoon of leaf and 1 minute as recommeded for one cup, this produces a dark col...
Dao Ren Tea from Mountain Rose Herbs
Style: Green Tea – Region: Zhejiang, China77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Aug. 7th, 2012
An organic tea of very good quality for a very good price!
Loose leaf has a very dark green color and a pungency suggesting fruity, grassy, and herbaceous qualities. The leaf is slow to unfurl and infuses quite slowly.
Upon brewing, the tea is surprisingly light in color and has an aroma equally suggesting of li...
Irish Breakfast from Frontier
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: India63 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 7th, 2012
This tea is interesting. The first thing I notice is that it smells like beets - not a flavor that I like to associate with tea, at least not in this context. The flavor is good, though. At first it seemed weird, but after a few sips it started to taste really good. I added cream and sugar.

A blast from the past--somehow I forgot to post this review, so enjoy it and miss SpecialTeas!
I found this tea to taste more similar to other Zhejiang green teas that I've tried than it did to mao feng green tea from other regions of China. Aroma is strong, fresh, toasty, and grassy. I can see both the fruity and...

Dry leaf, consisting almost exclusively of unbroken golden tips, is extremely aromatic and fresh, with the characteristic quality that all black teas from Yunnan province seem to have, but fruitier than normal.

Like other Yunnan Dian Hong...
Organic Superfine Dragon Well Long Jing Green Tea from TeaVivre
Style: Dragon Well (Long Jing) – Region: Zhejiang, China87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 28th, 2012
The more high-quality loose-leaf dragonwell I try, the more I realize how diverse this type of tea can be. This tea was pleasant and easy to brew, and among the best loose-leaf dragonwells that I've sampled.
Dry leaf looks dusty, yellowish, and smells very pleasing, strongly aromatic, with a typical smell for high-...

Jul. 25th, 2012
I was very interested to try the teas from this newly-launched effort of Two Leaves tea. This was an above-average quality British-style tea bag with finely-broken black tea, from the same company that I'm used to selling high-quality pyramid sachets. Good but not amazing. No brewing instructions on the container; I...

Kenyan Tinderet from DAVIDsTEA
Style: Black Tea – Region: Nandi, Kenya73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jul. 22nd, 2012
An excellent tea. Small pellets and a soft pre-brew aroma. The full recommended measurement and steep time produce a very bold, slightly bitter tea with a dry after taste but very refreshing. This tea is not over powering in flavour or aroma however is very full bodied.

The aroma was weak as was the flavor. The price is way too high. Overall, the taste of the tea upon first brew tasted as though it had been brewed 5 times beforehand. Not worth it!
