Himalayan Shilla, Jun Chiyabari (Organic) Summer 2014 from Happy Earth Tea
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: Nepal97 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 25th, 2014
Muscatel and plum scent, and the plum comes out with absolute loveliness in the liquor—sweet, and just slightly astringent. Additional sips bring out a blossoming plum and grape richness, that quickly gives way to a cooling tart astringency. Every sip is filled with juicy-ripe fruit. A beautiful tea, and easily an eq...

Arya Ruby, Darjeeling Black Tea, Second Flush 2014, Organic from Happy Earth Tea
Style: Darjeeling Second Flush – Region: Darjeeling, India90 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5

Arya Ruby offers a rich aroma of fermenting fruit—grapes, apples, apricots. The first taste of the liquor is smooth, slightly sweet, and seemingly little else. But then notes of tangy fruit and a slightly drying astringency begin to develop on the back of the tongue, which, it seems, signals the real development of f...

Yunnan Gold Supreme. Organic from Happy Earth Tea
Style: Yunnan Gold – Region: Yunnan, China87 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 22nd, 2014
This tea brewed to a cloudy copper tone, and smelled richly of honey, chocolate, and earthy spice—cinnamon, or allspice, or the peppery side of cardamom. It smelled as if it would be oily, in the way of a full-bodied Scotch, but also syrupy and sweet.
The mouthfeel is smooth, but on the watery side compared to th...

Style: Darjeeling First Flush – Region: Darjeeling, India80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 2nd, 2014
This tea brewed an amber colored liquor and immediately gave off a strong punch of apricots, trailed by a musky honey scent. The first taste—still too hot—yielded an indistinct malt-floral taste. Later after allowing to cool further, the liquor still seemed mild and subdued, and so with a third sip, I vigorously ae...

Singbulli, Darjeeling Black Tea, First Flush 2014 from Happy Earth Tea
Style: Darjeeling First Flush – Region: Darjeeling, India90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 1st, 2014
This was a very light brew with a bright golden color, and it smelled immediately of mint and other subtle floral and green fragrances. The sense of mint carried into the taste and mouthfeel, and it was never earthy or grassy. Later in the cup, I noticed a bit of the scent of asparagus. It was a really soft, beautiful ...
