Feb. 7th, 2015
The aroma of the curly green leaves is like a spring themed explosion in my nose, there are intense notes of orchid, honeysuckle and lilac accompanied by fresh vegetation, mown hay, and a hint of sweet chestnut at the finish. It is powerful and heady, like being in a humid conservatory where everything is floral and i...

Yi Fu Chun from Yezi Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Fujian, China87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5

Oh my that is a pleasant and heavy aroma, it seems the leaves collected the dense and heavy feeling of fog rather than the wispy one. There are notes of oak wood, molasses, cocoa, and a touch of smoke. It is intense, not sweet, but more like a rich molasses cookie and cocoa powder.
decided to do something a little ...

I originally had the review for this tea under Yezi's Jin Jun Mei, which is obviously incorrect. I am putting it in its proper place, as well as making an update.
Round 1: This tea has a lovely malty flavor. I wish I could pick out some additional aromas or flavors, but alas, I cannot.
I steeped this at 205 deg...
Dong Ding from Yezi Tea
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: Taiwan / Formosa77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
May. 10th, 2014
This had a very green aroma and flavor, and while I liked it, I didn't pick up on any special scents or tastes. It just tasted like a slightly sweet greenish tea.
Absolutely drinkable, but there are several teas from a yezi that I like better, so I'll be sticking with those.
Edit 5/19/14 - I made this grandpa s...
Tie Guan Yin High Grade from Yezi Tea
Style: Tie Guan Yin – Region: Fujian, China87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
May. 9th, 2014
The dry tea smells like matcha, with vanilla. I brewed this for 4 minutes using water at 205 degrees. The aroma while steeping smelled like hay, with hints of jasmine and another floral. Maybe it is the orchid that is mentioned in the tea's description. Not sure.
This has a mellow flavor, and the same florals fr...

When I opened the bag of tea and took a deep inhale, I was not immediately impressed. It smelled like tea.
But then I boiled the water and started to brew this, and wow, it's gorgeous. The tea is a lovely amber color and the brewed tea smells exactly like the malted grains used in brewing beer. I mean *exactly*...
Da Yu Ling Oolong Tea from Yezi Tea
Style: High Mountain Oolong – Region: Taichung, Taiwan97 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
May. 3rd, 2014
This tea is gorgeous. I'm a little bit in love, with a tea. I'm resisting the urge to write: "on nom nom" as the entire review, because that's probably not very helpful.
The dry tea smells like green tea, but after steeping, it smells like sweet flowers, with a little bit of berry. It smells like summer!
This ...
Jin Jun Mei Black Tea from Yezi Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Fujian, China97 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 12th, 2014
The aroma of the dry leaves is sharply sweet and a bit fruity, specifically a bit muscatel, there are strong notes of cocoa, caramelized sugar, orchids, and oak wood. It is a rich and bright aroma that wafts from the leaves, and certainly quite sweet. I would say that the aroma is one of the more sweeter Chinese black ...

Very sweet and yeasty, like freshly baking bread. There is also the intoxicating scent of honey and orchids with a small afterthought of allspice. Here is where it gets weird, the aroma reminds me of the smell of Amanita bisporigera aka Destroying Angel, the world's most toxic mushroom, and that is awesome. How is that...

Style: Tie Guan Yin – Region: Fujian, China90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 12th, 2014
The aroma of this Tie Guan Yin is nothing short of heavenly, very floral and sweet. I mainly notice orchids and honeysuckles but for an extra treat I can pick out the aroma of scuppernongs.
I was able to get four steepings out of this tea. The taste starts out very floral, primarily orchids with a hint of lilac, it ...
Li Shan Oolong Tea from Yezi Tea
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: Chiayi (County), Taiwan100 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 12th, 2014
The main floral aroma is honeysuckles, not so much the heady summery aroma of honeysuckles but the late spring early bloom where the flowers are just starting to open their petals. Hiding beneath the freshly blooming honeysuckles are notes of sweet honey and a touch of rose.
I was able to get four steeps using West...
