Tea Nerd: February 2011

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). There is a lingering, subtle, sweet aftertaste. The cha qi feels sedating but is thankfully not too heady, so there is no headache and only a bit of tea-drunkenness. Thursday, February 17, 2011.

A journal of tea and tea culture. Sunday, February 14, 2010. Ceaseless flows the river, water ever changing; bubbles in still pool gather and subside, impermanent: so in this world are we and all we devise. 8211;Kamo no Chōmei, Hōjōki. A couple of sunspot cycles ago, a soi-disant. While none tasteful enough to be reading this tastiest of blogs could ever be tagged an addict of any sort, it is true that for most of us, it is no single aspect of the tea experience, but a veritable congeries, that drives ou...

Wednesday, August 05, 2009. Classic Roast Tie Guan Yin from The Tea Gallery. Origin: Anxi, China. Vendor: The Tea Gallery. Price: $9.00 (25g) / $33.00 (100g).

This is a very solid tea, definitely worth picking up if you like roasted teas. It is roasted just. Wednesday, August 05, 2009. Tuesday, August 04, 2009. If you ...

Wednesday, February 17, 2010. Mystery Aged Oolong A from MarshalN. This is the other tea given to me by MarshalN; you can find my notes on "B" here. The dry leaf smells like caramel, toasty grains, and blueberry/classic-aged-oolong. The lid aroma is thick and luxurious, saturated with caramel and toastiness. Despite the subdued flavor of the first steep (it was a flash infusion, after all, I wouldn't have expected otherwise), this tea's cha qi. Good stuff, mmmm. Thanks again MarshalN! Along with its sist...

Tuesday, March 23, 2010. 2009 Tie Luo Han from The Tea Gallery. Origin: Wuyi Shan, China. Vendor: The Tea Gallery. Price: $18.00 (25g). A few weeks ago I wrote about The Tea Gallery's 2006 Tie Luo Han. The dry leaf smells of caramel, bright tropical fruit, and copper. The lid aroma was mostly floral, but a bit of the mineral/copper character can be found here too. It's not quite as powerful as a good dancong, but "dancong-like" isn't far from a good description of this tea's fragrance. If the price doesn...
