Enjoying about 5Gs of Puerh Junky’s Mincemeat (which is now out of stock). It’s a 7536 from 2007. I reviewed this one a while back, early in my tea journey, and I still like it! Maybe even more so now. I’m on spring break right now, enjoying the 10 days-ish away from school.

The Daily Tea #2

gunpowder green tea with jasmine

The packaging got me on this one. The Tao of Tea's organic pearl gunpowder loose leaf green tea is beautiful. I think I will be getting this brand more often not only because of the quality of the tea itself but because of the packaging. A nice sturdy round tin sealed with a sticker that pops cleanly and easily when turned. Underneath the circular top is a beautiful metallic tin top with a small circular handle and their logo embossed on it.

Be careful! When I popped the lid off, I lost quite a bit of tea from the impact of me yanking the lid off.

Why didn't I get green tea with jasmine together? A couple reasons. I wanted a good green tea on its own. And I wanted to have some jasmine on hand for other blends in the future.

I brewed it carefully - knowing green tea is finicky to brew. Don't boil the water. But make sure it's hot. Don't let the leaves soak for too long. I used a tea strainer that sits on top so I knew I wouldn't brew it for too long.

Now on to the taste.

Because I added the jasmine, it smelled and tasted very floral right off the bat. I did add honey to this. A strong green tea flavor lingered underneath the jasmine, grounding it as the jasmine kept it bright. The honey kept the bitterness at bay when the jasmine flavor went away. As I got closer down to the bottom of the cup, it got more bitter and I just tasted more of the honey. I wonder how I can keep the jasmine flavor to last to the bottom of the cup. Hmmm... (any tips let me know). Perhaps a different strainer and equal parts green tea and jasmine...

Overall, I really liked both flavors. Green tea with jasmine is one of my favorite tea blends and this Tao of Tea is one of my new favorite tea brands. This was a good strong green tea to add to my collection - good for when I'm in the need of a light boost in energy and alertness and antioxidants.

All in all, a good purchase and a delightful cup of tea.

2021 Chapo | Heicha | White2tea

Have had this sample sitting in my stash for too long! This tea is interesting to me, especially as a tea noob. The leaves look a lot like white tea to me, but much greener and smaller. Rustic is a good word for the look and aroma of this one. Lots of hay smell and some of the aroma from golden flowers is there too. A bit bread-like. Gives off a lot of feelings of playing outside in the spring weather. Once hitting this tea with hot water I found all kinds of things in it… Sticks, nuts, seeds, what else? A little piece of plastic too. The liquor has a nice mouth feel, very smooth and light. Bits of the nut have broken off and into the leaf so any flavors I might be getting are probably from that too! Out of all the things I’ve found in my teas, this is probably the biggest seed/nut. I was surprised how much I like this tea, the golden flower flavor is really nice with the much lighter — almost yellow tea liquor. Chapo is a liubao heicha, but it’s not very dark at all. Very nice golden liquor color that’s lightly fogged up by the rustic blend of leaf. The flavors are very reminiscent of hay and autumn leaves. This tea made me quite a bit tea high too. Hit me pretty hard and fast. A brick of this doesn’t go for a lot, so I recommend snagging a sample and giving it a try. It’s definitely worth it for the price if this is something up your alley.
