Green Tea from Tea King of China (Starway)
Style: Green Tea – Region: Zhejiang, China60 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5

Another cheap green tea from this company, less impressive than the others but still pleasant and drinkable. Dry leaf smells mildly like a low-quality chun mee or mid-quality gunpowder tea. The leaf looks a bit intermediate between the two; it's dusty gray-green, and has a mixture of more narrow and wider twisted pie...

High Mountain Oolong Tea from Tea King of China (Starway)
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: Anxi, Fujian, China53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5

A smooth, but ultimately mediocre oolong. Very dark, not terribly bitter, but also very uninteresting. Most Chinese restaurants have tea with more of an interesting flavor and aroma.
Dry leaf has a mild, mellow aroma. Upon brewing, the roasted aroma comes out more.
The brewed cup has an oily film on top of it....

I was so impressed by the two green teas from this company that I eagerly bought two 6 ounce boxes of oolong. The oolongs, at around $5 a tin, were both pricier than the green teas, which were about $2 and $3 a tin, respectively.
I was sorely disappointed with this tea. This is a below-average tea, even for this p...

Style: Bi Luo Chun – Region: Jiangsu, China80 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5

This was the second 'bargain buy' I found in the attractive black-and-green tins that have recently cropped up in Asian markets, from the import company Starway Inc. I think this tea was even more impressive than the first: at $3.98 for 6 ounces, this tea is very cheap, although significantly pricier than the other, H...

Style: Mao Feng Green Tea – Region: Huangshan, Anhui, China77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5

I can't believe the price on this tea: 6 ounces for $3. I wasn't expecting much, and I was literally blown away. This is an outstanding tea for this price. Many whole leaves, and mostly large, only slightly broken pieces. The leaf is lightly packed and takes up a lot of space. The instructions say to brew with 2-3...
