Re: What Oolong Are You Drinking
Not all grape jellybeans taste the same. Australian ones may be quite different than jellybeans in California.

Re: What Black Are You Drinking
I did not know what to expect but the roast was not dominant at all which was surprising. Thanks for quick response. That sounds tasty. A positive effect of roasting that does not result in a dominant taste of roast is what I want from roasting. 2 teas are giving me pleasure lately that I would not...

white nepali tea, word found for it
Muscatel. "Muscatel" grapes, muscatel wine was what would not come into my mind for weeks. A common, desired flavor for a category of tea of Darjeeling & Nepal. The Himalayan Snow has it very nicely for us; &, has I started tasting the unique flavor after some years away from it, I've moved from wan...

Re: What Black Are You Drinking
I don’t drink much black tea at home but got this Tongmu Charcoal Roast 2022 as a free sampler and it’s amazing! I wish I could put the aroma into words but it is very pleasant. Nice and smooth black tea. Happy Saturday Do you taste a black tea that had been roasted or do you taste a roasted tea th...

Re: What Black Are You Drinking
Wild Lapsang Souchong from Wuyi Origin: The flavor seems a blend of a few flavors, that I mind not being able to name because I am reviewing the tea. It is somewhat familiar to me though I cannot come up with a word for it. One can feel it is not wrong to connect this w/ what we think of as Lapsang ...

Thinking about how to get your tea to please you the most it can
My sisters arranged a brunch for last Sunday for them & me. My younger sister & I were speaking about it some days before it & did not want it to be concentrated on food. Our mother was a fantastic cook who prepared a very wide variety of dishes & our father was a glutton, & their children are somew...

Re: Sun Moon Lake Red Jade T-18 Black Tea
There's a lot of bitter, overly malty Ruby 18 out there. +1 to Gaoshan's observation. I enjoyed 2 purchases of Ruby 18 over the years & been somewhat disappointed to outrageously disappointed w/ purchases of Ruby 18 about 6 times. Fortunately, I found better black teas that are not such a gamble to...

Re: importance of $/g ?
... not sure can cover all tea ( especially loose leaf which has different prices on different amounts ) . Assume your customers are willing to think. Break down to price per gram for one size (perhaps the most common size for your teas or the size that sells the most for a particular tea & don't p...

Re: more on my white tea from Nepal
My oldest brother is enduring massive doses of chemotherapy which makes eating & drinking difficult for a few days every 3 weeks. He is finding this white tea, Himalayan Snow, very tolerable & enjoyable even on his worst days. "Delicate yet tasty" he has told me. Delicate is a good word. A defining ...

Re: importance of $/g ?
I & a considerable amount of other consumers (I assume) want and/or need to consider how much specific teas cost for a cup or a session. Knowledge of price per gram makes it easy to calculate the cost of drinking various teas. In the long run, thinking of price-per-gram has helped me to enjoy drinki...

Re: Chicago tea festival
Take a look at the cupping sessions. There is quite a bit there that looks interesting to me. Having been to it before, I can say that last time I went, there was a good cross section of quality teas to sample. Here in the midwest, this is about the best we can hope for Now, I am jealous. Nothing t...

Re: Chicago tea festival
Hello, Brent. Long time away. The event sounds like there is not a whole lot of good sampling. For $25, I would like to be drinking special, rare, .... not watching a tea ceremony or seeing British afternoon tea sets.
Cheers

Re: Lapsang Souchong
I've never had a smoked lapsang from Wuyi Origin, though I've had almost all their unsmoked lapsangs. Can you taste any fruit or other flavours, or is it basically all smoke? Also, are you Western steeping this tea? I've had a couple good lapsangs from non-specialist vendors (i.e., What-Cha and The...
