2004 he yang cake from hayslon tea, only described as “huge leaves”

thick, loosely pressed cake. i can wiggle the leaves off with ease. cooling, herbal. it’s smooooooooth. most of the tea at hayslon has a very similar house flavor, but it’s all pretty tasty.

Lil Prague Tea Bloggin:

Todays stop: Banna House - Čajová komnata. Guys. If you're ever in Prague, make this tearoom one of your priorities! I have to say, it was more of a teashop? But did it leave an impression! It was mostly filled with ceramics, but there was also a table for sitting, tea master lady seated us and gave us two free tea degustations. She started talking about Xishuangbanna, a province in Yunnan, where she's from.

First degustation was a puerh- Ziya Dashu Shengcha. My god, never thought I'd ever enjoy a puerh this much, it was sweet! Yes, you heard me right, I quickly told the lady that I have never tasted a better puerh in my life, she explained a lot of tea lovers are very mistaken with puerhs. Apparently the natives, where she's from, very much enjoy sweet teas - "life is bitter, why should the tea be too". Changed my life with that sentence ngl. Puerh was mellowish, sweet, honey aftertaste!

Second tea- Manwa Yesheng Yabao. Such a sweet white tea, I somehow tasted a slight lychee lemonade and roses. Best white tea ever!

The ceramics were pretty cheap, staff was attentive, teas tasted amazing. All in all, 10outta10yall.

2021 Long Tang Old Tree | Raw Puerh | Yunnan Sourcing

This sheng greets you with a surprising smoky camphor note for its young age. The aroma is sweet, with a touch of beets and plums. The flavor profile is herbaceous, sweet, and fruity, with a hint of hay. There’s almost a sugary quality to it. These unexpected flavors continue to unfold each sip with little bitterness despite its youth.

hihi! i’m arty.

i’m into decorating my home; particularly working on my room, the tea room, and dungeon; collecting super dollfie and other toys, tokoname and yixing teapots, puer tea cakes, pillows shaped like other things, kaweco sport pens, perfumes, and most recently heady glass. i have two adorable shihtzus, and a newly adopted western hermanns tortoise.

Dark Rose - Story of My Tea

As you can see, this tea is in the shape of a heart! It smells like rose florals and woodsy black tea.

Steep this tea at 205F for 2-3 minutes. You can get roughly 3+ steeps out of it.

The brewed aroma is strong but not purfumey like I expected. The tea broke up into a lovely brew and the color was like dark amber. Taste wise this tea had tones of rose, smooth woodsy notes and lingering floral. Overall this tea is very pleasant and easy to sip on a chilly day. It had its own level of sweetness so I didnt’ feel like I had to add anything extra. For a scented black tea this is a great choice. 

Unfortunately this tea is part of a kick starter that I helped photography wise so you can’t get it individually, but if you are slightly new to the tea journey dipping your toes into loose leaf, I definitely recommend getting a subscription from them! You can find this tea here.

ALSO! I launched my blogger website for dedicated tea reviews! If you prefer that platform - be sure to check it out here!

2004 Nanqiao Bulang King | Teas We Like | Raw Puerh

Aroma is a cooling, smokey, incense. Medicinal at first with some wood smells coming in underneath it all. Very bitter wood chip kind of start, so I steeped for shorter periods of time and the tea kept its color. After dodging around the bitterness, later steeps get some pine flavors and a creamy texture. After the first few steeps, this sheng goes from bitter wood to a milky, sweet, herby drink. Lots of flavors I look for in sheng. Qi hits really strong at first, can and will knock you out. Glad I stuck with this one, it ended up being very enjoyable.

Cannot believe it’s Monday already o_o I really enjoyed this sheng, much more than expected. It’s a good example of what I like about sheng puerh.
