Traditional Process Dian Hong Black Tea of Feng Qing from Yunnan Sourcing
Style: Yunnan Gold – Region: Fengqing, Yunnan, China95 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 28th, 2019
A delightful and robust tea that I could happily drink day after day, and that has been one of my favorite teas to start the day with lately.
I found this tea interesting to compare to the "Classic 58" which I also ordered in the same batch. It looks very different in terms of leaf appearance, but is surprisingly si...
Feng Qing "Classic 58" Dian Hong Premium Yunnan Black Tea from Yunnan Sourcing
Style: Yunnan Gold – Region: Fengqing, Yunnan, China92 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 4th, 2019
This is one of those teas that I love and could drink every day, but when I've served it to others, I found it doesn't appeal to as wide an audience, especially among those with Western tastes. People who like more "serious" Chinese teas like it, it but a lot of people either find it boring or are put-off by the astrin...

Fengqing Wild Tree Yesheng Raw Pu-erh Tea Cake 2013 from TeaVivre
Style: Raw (Sheng) Pu-erh – Region: Fengqing, Yunnan, China97 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5

Wow. Exceptional, unique. The dry leaf of this smells completely unlike any other tea I've tried...and so does the cup when brewed. The leaf smells like honey and flowers, but with a smoky quality. Definitely the smoothest raw Pu-erh I've ever had that was effectively un-aged (being less than a year old when I trie...

2006 Fengqing Raw Pu-erh Tea Tuocha from TeaVivre
Style: Raw (Sheng) Pu-erh – Region: Fengqing, Yunnan, China95 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 23rd, 2014
This is among my favorite Pu-erhs that I've ever sampled.
This cake has a very fine leaf, tightly packed, and is tricky to break apart. I'm glad TeaVivre had already broken it off for me for the sample.
The dry leaf has a pleasant aroma, like caramel with a hint of worcestershire sauce, and still some remnants o...
Fengqing Zhuan Cha Raw Puerh Brick Tea 2005 from TeaVivre
Style: Raw (Sheng) Pu-erh – Region: Fengqing, Yunnan, China83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 18th, 2014
This is just about my favorite age range of Pu-erh: aged but still relatively young.
The compressed leaf is not very aromatic, and is devilishly hard to break apart. Thankfully TeaVivre already broke off this sample for me, but just judging by the texture of the compressed leaf, this one looks like it would be anno...
Fengqing Old Tree Raw Pu-erh Cake Tea 2013 from TeaVivre
Style: Raw (Sheng) Pu-erh – Region: Fengqing, Yunnan, China73 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 5th, 2014
This tea is the youngest raw Pu-erh that I've consumed to date. Like I'd expect, it is potent, but it's smoother and more drinkable than even some Pu-erh I've tried that has been aged by a few more years.
The dry leaf smells strongly vegetal, with tones of honey and camphor.
Brews a strong-flavored cup with a li...
Fengqing Golden Buds Ripened Pu-erh Cake Tea 2005 from TeaVivre
Style: Ripened (Shou) Pu-erh – Region: Fengqing, Yunnan, China47 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
May. 21st, 2013
I've had shu (ripened) Pu-erh of this age that I thought was exquisite, like the 2005 Jing Mai Autumnal I got from Tao of Tea, so I know it exists, but this cake didn't do it for me. I had a generous amount of samples, enough to experiment a bit with brewing, but I still didn't like it. The dry leaf has an aroma typi...

Fengqing Paddy Flavor Raw Pu-erh Cake Tea 2006 from TeaVivre
Style: Raw (Sheng) Pu-erh – Region: Fengqing, Yunnan, China83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 16th, 2013
I found this tea to be a very enjoyable Pu-erh, typical for its age and unusual only in the degree to which it produced a tingling and numbing sensation on the palate.
I received a sample which was a mostly-whole piece broken off a Pu-erh cake. The leaves were largely intact and it was very easy to break apart with...
Fengqing Dragon Pearl Black Tea from TeaVivre
Style: Yunnan Red – Region: Fengqing, Yunnan, China83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 16th, 2012
In spite of having tried quite a few Yunnan teas by now, this was something completely different for me! Very interesting, although a little bit difficult to brew to satisfaction. The dry leaf, rolled into dense spheres, has only a mild aroma, more suggestive of Keemun than other Yunnan teas.
I first used a small ...
