Tea Nerd: January 2010
http://www.teanerd.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 11, 2010. Aged Oolong from Imperial Tea Court. Origin: Fujian, China. Vendor: Imperial Tea Court. Price: $6.00 (28g) / $21.25 (113g). This is not a bad tea. (What, expecting something more profound after a month and a half? The truth is, my taste buds are a wee bit rusty after such a long break from routine tea consumption, so I won't be waxing poetic 'bout none-a-those etherial hints of ambrosia this time. Modest price I can't complain. It also seems to give an above-average cha qi.

Thursday, February 17, 2011. Shan Lin Xi (Light Roast), from the Tea Gallery. Origin: Nantou, Taiwan. Vendor: The Tea Gallery. Price: $35.00 (25g each of light and medium roast).

Based on the ideas covered in previous installments of this series, I decided to write an article for the even-more-budget-conscious and the experimenters among us. It is not surprisingly called. This setup is ideal for the following people:. This is even cheaper than The Spartan. And possibly The Lone Ranger. Ugh, sorry for that).

Thoughts on one of the world's most popular drink. The white flowers, “Moonlight of the Grove”, are said to. A richer fragrance at night. For this reason, it is critical to gather the blossoms at the right time. Ideally, they are picked at noon in order to bring them to the tea factory around 4:00pm. There they are stored for a few hours in a warm room to encourage the development of the aroma, and then the production of jasmine tea begins around 8:00pm. I’ve been very lucky to stumble upon a gorge...

Friday, May 22, 2009. Origin: Yame prefecture, Japan. Price: $31.00 (100g). This sencha has a lovely color. It's not quite as green as O-Cha's Yukata Midori, but what is? I've been enjoying this shincha ( wondering what "shincha" is? For a couple weeks now. Mmmm. It has been a long time since I've had any Japanese greens, but this tea fills my springtime sencha craving nicely. There are some long leaves with a good helping of small bits, so I would guess that this tea is chumushi. I know, sencha reviews ...
