Jasmine Tea from Fujian Tea Import & Export Co, Ltd.
Style: Jasmine Tea – Region: Fujian, China50 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 15th, 2023
I have been seeing this tea around for years, its mustard-colored tins are commonly available in Chinese food shops. My most recent container of it seemed fairly dry and grassy, with less jasmine flavor than it had in the past. Or perhaps my tastebuds may have changed a bit over time. As a budget priced jasmine tea, it...

Jasmine Dragon Pearls from Teasenz
Style: Jasmine Pearls – Region: Fujian, China85 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 24th, 2023
A very fragrant tea and consists of tea leaves and a fair amount of buds. The jasmine aroma balances well with the green tea base. The tea soup has a nice creamy texture. The value is decent, there are cheaper jasmine teas out there, but not at such quality.

WuYi Mtn. Oolong Tea (Wuyi Oolong) from Foojoy
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: Wuyi, Fujian, China72 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Jun. 6th, 2023
I bought a box of 25 tea bags in an Asian grocery store. The bags are individually sealed in foil and filled with finely chopped pieces of tea. Upon opening the foil pouch, the tea smells recognizably as a roasted oolong.
The brewed tea is unremarkable, but it tastes quite nice. It has a mild bitterness that is bala...

One-litre pot at home, made from broad green-brown leaves and top shoots of Pai Mu Tan tea. Pours clear straw (against white china) with no sediment. Clear aroma of white tea leaves, with malty touches. Delicate, leafy flavour with hints of flowers and malty touches. Leafy aftertaste. A very nice, delicate and unpreten...

Premium Grade AA Jin Jun Mei Fujian Black Tea of Wu Yi Shan from Yunnan Sourcing
Style: Black Tea – Region: Wuyi, Fujian, China97 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 16th, 2021
I was curious to try this higher grade of a tea (the "Classic Robust Jin Jun Mei") that has become one of my favorites for daily drinking.
The dry leaf is similar but more curly and also visibly lighter in color, with a greater portion of golden tips. The aroma is very strong, initially of dried fruit and then very ...

This tea is amazing! It has a mild chocolatey/cocoa butter flavor which is really nice. The tea is so smooth and buttery and not astringent or bitter at all!

Mar. 11th, 2021
This tea was amazing! The aroma was really strong and had a nice toasty smell to it. This tea is thick-bodied and the flavor was malty, toasty and complex. This is a great value tea as well, I will definitely be drinking it again.

Classic Robust Jin Jun Mei Black Tea of Fujian from Yunnan Sourcing
Style: Black Tea – Region: Wuyi, Fujian, China85 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 5th, 2021
The aroma of this tea is amazing and complex! The reason I only give it an 85 is because the taste is just a bit harsh for me, it's just slightly bitter and astringent. Overall it's not so bad though and if you aren't as sensitive to astringency as me you'd probably absolutely love this tea! Besides the issues with mil...

Mar. 3rd, 2021
I seriously can't get enough of this tea. This is not only my favorite of the teas I've bought from Yunnan Sourcing from provinces other than Yunnan, it is among my favorite teas of all time.
The leaf is beautiful, a thin, wiry mix of golden-orange and dark brown. It's not explosively aromatic, but when I really sti...
White Peach from Adagio Teas

Dec. 24th, 2020
Prep: 175F, 5min, 2 heaping tsp, 16oz
Aroma: This took a little bit of time to come to the forefront. After the tea cook a few degrees, you get a nice blend of floral notes and light peach. Very pleasant. 7/10
Taste: Very nice. Mild peach on a delicate white backdrop. Really mellow and enjoyable. 8/10

High Mountain "Tu Cha" Black Tea from Wu Yi Mountains from Yunnan Sourcing
Style: Black Tea – Region: Wuyi, Fujian, China86 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 19th, 2020
This was a pleasant, if somewhat disappointing tea that I found tasted better as it cooled.
The dry leaf is long, wiry, and grayish black, and has a mild aroma that initially is a sort of sweet chocolatey quality, underlain by a deep maltiness. It reminds me of a chocolate shortbread cookie. Overall, the dry leaf do...
Lapsang Souchong from Stash Tea
Style: Lapsang Souchong – Region: Fujian, China60 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 15th, 2020
Prep: 4tsp, 200F, 4 minute steep. Going strong on this guy. First infusion notes.
Aroma: No one will question you that this is Lapsang Souchong. Huge smoky note, a little tobacco. Super inviting and warming.
Flavor: I expected this to be more aggressive than it turned out to be. This has a nice balance of rich...
Jasmine Phoenix Pearls (Jasmine #12) from Adagio Teas
Style: Jasmine Pearls – Region: Fujian, China85 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 19th, 2020
This tea has a beautiful jasmine smell and taste. You have to really love jasmine to like this tea; as the other reviewer mentioned, the jasmine aroma and taste is very overpowering, even with minimal steep time. I really enjoy this tea. It reminds me a great deal of Republic of Tea’s Twilight Rose, which is a chamom...

Jan. 21st, 2020
Ordered a Fujiian Black Tea sampler pack from Yunnan Sourcing and this was my second favorite. Nice and light with a good 2-3 re-steeps coming out of it. The rest of the sampler were richer more malty and coffee like tea's while this one was the lightest. Not a roasted or rich flavor but something easy to drink. Has a ...

Jasmine Tea from Fujian Tea Import & Export Co, Ltd.
Style: Jasmine Tea – Region: Fujian, China65 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 4th, 2020
One of my kids gave me this for Christmas, having bought it at an Asian food store for an unknown price, so I'm basing the value rating off the mostly reasonable online costs for a 120g tin. The packaging of this tea confused me a bit at first, as it was branded just like one of the same title on RateTea, but in a tin...

Lapsang Souchong Smoky Black Tea from TeaVivre

Nov. 12th, 2019
I'm not much of a fan of smoky teas. It's really a matter of personal history. It takes me back to a house filled with fire smoke or cigarette smoke, and my frantically opening windows, choking just to breathe. Now, somehow, this tea managed to clear that all away and elicit only my positive memories of smoke -- clean,...

Oct. 10th, 2019
This was the first tea I bought from Yunnan Sourcing that was not actually grown in Yunnan province. I was a bit reluctant to order it, but also curious, because this company has been so consistently good at everything they sell, both in terms of price and quality. This tea turned out to be a little less interesting th...

Aug. 7th, 2019
I'm not entirely sure how to understand Chinese branding, but "Fujian Tea Import & Export Co., Ltd.," itself a subsidiary of "China Tea Co., Ltd." seems to be a state-run company that handles international trade for a number of smaller Chinese tea companies in the Fujian province. This jasmine tea is further branded wi...

Dragon Pearl Jasmine from Harney and Sons

Jun. 5th, 2019
I ordered this tea loose and brewed it exactly to Harney & Sons directions (1 tsp per cup at 175F for 3 minutes). The aroma is sublime. The color is very light golden straw. The flavor is soft, fragrant, not bitter at all. Compared to Harney and Son's "Jasmine" and "Organic Jasmine" the Dragon Pearl Jasmine is more sub...

Style: Lapsang Souchong – Region: Fujian, China85 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 6th, 2019
Found this in a Chinese market at the mall in Arcadia, CA. They had a huge selection of teas. I picked up a couple of ounces of this. It was priced at $30 per pound.
It is a very dark tea, black actually, and it has a heavy, smoky smell. However, after brewing the flavor is not as intense as you would expect. The br...

Mar. 19th, 2019
I had one called China Panyang Congou from Upton, which is also currently unavailable. I'm guessing this is the same thing. It is very enjoyable and tastes different from most of the teas I can think of. There is a pronounced barley/pumpernickel flavor. I've been brewing beer lately and this reminded me of the taste...

An excellent tea, with good balance between the flavors and aromas. A bit on the pricey side.

Organic Green Tea from Uncle Lee's Tea

Mar. 13th, 2019
This is a very slightly above-average, but not outstanding, bagged green tea available at a price that's hard to top for a non-store brand (about $8 for a 100-count box online, or at stores such as Wal-Mart). Fortunately, I procured a fairly new, sealed 100-ct box at an estate sale for a buck, so *my* value was unrepr...

The aroma has a mild earthiness. The liquor is a light amber color. Mild taste that would be overwhelmed by milk or sugar.
