Tea Novice: Golden Monkey
http://teanovice.blogspot.com/2007/09/golden-monkey.html
Sunday, September 2, 2007. Before I begin, I will apologize to the lovers of black teas. I do not hate them, and I am not saying they are bad teas in the least. They're just not my favorites. However, I do enjoy a pot or three of my favorite black teas when, for example, I want to curl up with a good book. It seems a lot of people recommend having black teas (more breakfast blends though, or the main teas of breakfast belnds) with a bit of milk and sugar. Not me, though. I just don't have any (un...A lot...

Tea Novice: August 2007
http://teanovice.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 29, 2007. Pu Qing Hao revisit. Today is a reminder, more to myself, of why I'd prefer 'Tea Novice' than a name implying more experience, knowledge, or anything else. When I first. Has recently tried this same tea. He described it as having fruity qualities. That makes perfect sense, considering the "Plum Blossom" portion of the name. Any way, the recent congratulatory remark among some in the online tea community has been the 2000th addition to Babelcarp. Sunday, August 26, 2007. Six gr...

http://puerh.blogspot.com/2008/04/shu-trio-from-john-grebe-with-guest.html
A blog obsessed with tea. Puer by Appearance: Types, Storage. Shu Trio from John Grebe. With guest review notes. John and I traded a few teas last week. He wanted to try some Liu An. And I wanted to try some of his shu pu'er. John drinks shu daily. His blog. Appears humble and unassuming, but from our chats about his experiences, I think he has a fair share of intuition about shu pu'er. He sent me samples of the three shu pu'er he currently has open:. Changtai Tea Group 2006 "Banna" Tuo Cha. Then finishi...

Tea Novice: July 2007
http://teanovice.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 25, 2007. New equipment, and new tea. Today, everything but my yixing. Ware arrived. So now I have a Swiss Gold infuser and a gaiwan. I'm quite pleased with both! Came with a free sample (5.3 grams) of Silk Oolong. The birthplace of Ti Kuan. Yin tea). No, I don't know that much of tea lore. I found it a couple places, including Red Blossom Tea company. Where I purchased the gaiwan. So what is a gaiwan. Translated in Chinese directly as "covered bowl." And that's exactly what it is! Is kno...

Tea Novice: September 2007
http://teanovice.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 18, 2007. I broke off a nice 5 gram piece this time, and put that into my pot. The first infusion (after the rinses, of course) was much lighter than subsequent steeps, but it was full of flavor. The second infusion was quite dark, though. I was watching a movie at the time, tentatively, so I just kept going until the tea was well past finished and I was well past full of tea! So that's my 2005 Gong Ting story. Friday, September 14, 2007. Tuesday, September 11, 2007. From right to left...

The Green Tea Review: May 2008
http://thegreenteareview.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 23, 2008. How to find good pu-erh? Negotiating through the plethora of pu-erh is not an easy task. There are many teas out there that we must taste to determine whether or not they are worthy of our money. Price and opinions of other cannot always be trusted, and even good teas are wasted on us at times. The best way to understand pu-erh, and develop a palate is to sample. Sample a lot. Never stop sampling! In my endless sampling, I rarely. It I had an epiphany where I said to myself, "This i...

A blog obsessed with tea. Puer by Appearance: Types, Storage. Last update 30 July 2016]. This is a collection of my advice and recommendations for people who are new to pu'er tea and would like some advice on how and what to sample. Disclaimer: I have no connection to any vendors listed. Below, I recommend teas I have tried and believe are educational for a beginner. This is not meant as an endorsement that these teas will age well. Buy samples before you buy whole cakes. Try aged sheng pu'er before.

http://thegreenteareview.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 12, 2008. Did I like it? Sure, I think a few more years would make it delicious. But I also think that it's already delicious enough to enjoy regularly. So, congratulations JadeCicada, on finding this little gem. Not only is it a cheaply bought aged tea, but it's well stored, and very tasty. Thanks for bringing me into this tasting. Here is JC's original post. On livejournal. Here's the follow-up. On livejournal. Here's the post on TeaChat. Tuesday, September 9, 2008. Me And My Tea.
