  • Alishan Guanyin, deep baked Taiwan oolong

    Indeed the baking work done onto the tea is masterful, like that in the good old days when I started to develop my humble hobby of tea drinking when I began my earlier career in teaching in the early 1980’s. It was a time when mastery in tea baking was already a fading craft as the market was beginning to push for the dominance of green style oolongs. I was too young and too much an outsider to know whether it’s the decrease of good baking that cause the rise of green oolongs or whether it’s the push for green oolongs that dwindled the market for master tea bakers. As you said, green style oolongs are a fantastic category in itself, but a properly baked and fine oolong is something special to cherish, a sip that is like a hug in the soul.

  • Eight Immortals Wudong, Phoenix dancong oolong

    Good humble smell

    Very comfortable good smell. Not too much like fragrant flower. Humble like good Confucius teaching. Long lasting and good class taste. This tea make me happy.

  • Song Cultivar, Phoenix dancong oolong

    Perfume for the palate

    Oh, the excitement when the Tea Hong box arrives! Song Cultivar was the first to be sampled after the un-boxing of my second shipment. The dry leaves make music as they tinkle into the gaiwan, blooming into a mass of plump foliage when brewed. The tea is clear and golden brown but tastes like a gray, misty day by a crackling fire. Deep and slightly bitter, it leaves a citrus-like perfume lingering on your palate.

  • Happiness Gaiwan

    I decided to order this Gaiwan to answer my curious soul.
    It looks different from what I usually see in my local teaware stores and I was surprised by it’s superb ergonomics. It ticks all the boxes for what a good gaiwan should be especially for smaller ones.

    I also like the 5-petal flower motif in body and lid design. It’s neat, clean and understated.

  • April Mist, traditional green tea

    Excellent fresh “clouds and mist” green tea

    Tianshan April Mist (“Wild Bush Yunwu”): This is a green tea of the yunwu (“clouds and mist”) type. The pictures show a tea with vividly deep green leaves, twisted into small curls. Since it is a yunwu type and the description uses words like strong, bright, and sharp, it grabbed my attention immediately. Leo says that this tea is, “for those who prefer strength in their green tea rather than soft, rounder tastes.” That sounds like me, so this was the tea that I anticipated the most. I was surprised when I opened the container – the smell is very fresh and pungent, but not in a bad way. In fact, the dry leaves have a stronger smell than any other green teas I have had. The infusion is a lively light green, and gives a brisk but full-bodied, fresh, and flavorful taste. It really brings those bright “green tea” qualities to the foreground. I am really fascinated by this tea, which has such an unassuming appearance. Since trying this tea for the first time, it has become my “go to” green tea. As a bonus, its status as a “clouds and mist” green tea makes me feel like I’m drinking tea with Taoist hermits deep in the mountains. 😉
