Shou Mei White from Caina Tea
Style: Shou Mei White Tea – Region: Fujian, China85 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 11th, 2017
Shou Mei is a very stem-y and leafy loose left. Caina says to steep 1tbsp for about 25 seconds, with all the stems and big leafs it's pretty hard to measure. It's actually a lot easier just to eyeball and take a guess, if you drink a lot of loose leaf tea it's not that hard to guesstimate it. To me it has a light flowe...

Yixing Dragon Mountain Black from Caina Tea
Style: Black Tea – Region: Jiangsu, China100 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 5th, 2017
Dragon Mountain Yixing is now my favorite black tea. The flavor is amazing, it's hard for me to describe other than it's just so good. Caina says to steep this you need 1tbsp for about 40 seconds, for cup of course. They also say you can re-steep the leaves about 6 times. Much to my surprise, you can actually re-steep ...
