Today is a very special day. Not because it is Sunday and not because it is time for another new tea review at ZeroZen - No! Because it is the Sacred Lily by Tea Hong. This tea was marvelous and such a perfect composition in every possible way. That's why it reached a well and in 100% earned golden ranking at ZeroZen. Why, What and what else to know you will find out with an English summary at the end of this review and just one click a head at ZeroZen!

Today it is Sunday and so another time for a delicious cup of tea at ZeroZen. This time it is one of the last Tea Hong samples for now but some new ones are following soon. But I was very curious about this DHP by them because the size of its leave are one of the biggest I have seen so far. But lets take a closer look at his taste and scent just one click a head at ZeroZen

Now it is time for another tea review at ZeroZen and this time it contains a mixed feeling of many marvelous moments inside and a bitter sweet and sad outcome on the other side. Because this was a great and unexpected small Yiwu Gushu but on the other side the last and first time I was able to show my great new teapot by Petr Novak (the sandy glazed dark cyan-grey one). Because yesterday after less than a week a tricky leaves which was stuck in the spout of the pot was the reason it slipped out of my hands and shattered in many pieces on the floor. I treasure all those following pictures because they will exist forever. I hope you enjoy my view of tea and my words after the next click and like every time in the end an English summary is waiting for you.

@Hannah: Thank you for your words. That means a lot to me and I am glad helping you learn German but don't forget the English summaries at the end of every article (since the beginning of the year I started with the English part)

"like you would rub aluminum foil on your gums"
Quite a reference, friend! Like your blogs. I've never known as many distinct flavors as you describe (in German or English) & won't rub the foil in my mouth just to understand your work; nonetheless, your blogs are fun & informative. Thanks again.

@ethan:

first of all thank you Ethan for your kind words. It's always nice to get some compliments. I was always since I was a little child someone who smelled at things...even at gross stuff sometimes

maybe I was always preparing for my future goal to review teas

. And as a child you try many things ...many ....I mean I did. So that's why I know how aluminium foil reacts between your teeth or how wool feels if you rub it between your gum. Like I said I was always someone who was into smelling or tasting something. If you want to describe tea the best it is necessary to eat as much different stuff - fruits, vegetables, spices etc... as possible to get a wide range to draw onto. The same with scents. Go into the nature and sometimes it is even good to smell at weird stuff because a reference is a reference even if it is a strange one
Wish you a nice day my friend. Take care.

Few minutes ago I had a look at your blog and excellent reviews (and photos) that I have ordered some teas from 'die Kunst des Tees'.
