Winter Da Ping Mao Xie - from Jing Tea Shop

Small pellets. Flowers, herbs and butter. Florals dominate but a good balance overall with a nice mouthfeel and good durability. I like.

2010 Autumn Xiang Hua Tie Guan Yin - from Jing Tea Shop

This tastes exactly like the oolongs in the otti #6 from China Tea Culture.....number 2 or 3...i think? Fully herbal and vegetal with a touch of floral on the periphery.

A very dark roasted Shui Xian (3 Stamp) from TG. Definitely could use a few years of aging.

2010 'Subtropical Forest' Baozhong again. The first 3 brews are really excellent, but the mouthfeel disappears fast. Tough to pull more out of it after this.

Im sipping on tie luo han from jingteashop this Christmas morning. Unfortunatly I reached the bottom of a tin today so my tea was mostly fannings at the bottom. I couldn't waste them so thats what I brewed up this morning. Not too bad but not the same taste it usually has.

Tenfu TGY 1000. Continues to impress on the 2nd day of drinking. Outstanding gardenia aroma and flavor. Whole leaves. Not organic.

DHP. I love this tea, second round as I couldn't finish yesterday. All up they were 20 runs of tea purchased from PostCard teas, which I have to admit is great quality. The qi on the tea tastes like warm sweet rice and lingers on the sides and tip of the tongue as well as my teeth; however this tea can't be compared to the 34 rounds I had of 1/4 of this little gem:






This thing made me very tea drunk, and when I say very, it is a lot. I barely could walk after having a cha session of that. I also have to say that brick was aged DHP, which is a bonus. Price, there is no price for having something like that. It's a spiritual experience in the form of tea drinking and I had a nice trip with it.

Anyway, this is the final run of brewing I just finished a few moments ago:




Quality of phone cam suck, but that's all it is, lol.

Anyway, yum cha and namaste!

2010 Autumn Long Juan TGY from Jing Tea Shop -

Very herbaceous with some grassiness/vegetal and butter. Different and definitely not focused on the floral. This is my second session with it and find it to be okay. There is just not enough complexity.

[bagua7]

Any sweetness to it?

[puerhking]

Very little. Just a hair in later infusions.

Nice pics everyone. I love the eligance of the bamboo tea trays.

Rou gui from jingteashop in my cup this morning.

[TwoPynts]

Adagio's Ooooh Darjeeling in my cup today. Not very complex, but a very pleasant, soothing tea.

[AdamMY]

Just had a session of "Hundred Year Tree" from the tea gallery, quite nice, and very enjoyable. Wish I had more of that tea and really makes me want to try more of their Yancha.

2008 dark roast TGY from TeaMasters. Roast is prominent, but not overpowering.

Just finished breakkie by having only lishan which had a very pleasant buttery sweet aftertaste. But this morning's brew was a tad bitter compared to the last one which was sweeter. I guess the water-leaf ratio wasn't perfect. Moody tea for sure. A couple of professionally taken and edited pics:
