Tea reviews
Bulang - Man Xin Long x Lao Yu
This review helped: 0 / 0
The delicious aroma, sweet, fruity, slightly astringent overtones. Leaves are nice and pretty green.
The first infusion turbid after a while, it could be a sign of tea’s "strength". The taste is just slightly bitter, delicate astringency, sweetness. Fruitiness echoes in the back of the mouth and it is then returning via nose back into mouth when you swallow. Tea slips nicely into the throat and stops somewhere in the middle of the chest. Aftertaste is sweet with the transformation to astringency. It has moderate energy.
Tea tastes very good. The taste of Man Xin Long is more smoother, full bodied compared to the wilder flavor of 2013 Lao Yu, which also comes from Bulang area. But Lao Yu has far greater energy I must say. The price of Man Xin Long is $26 for 250g cake.
Lao Yu is clearly my winner in this comparison. It is also cheaper (Lao Yu is 200g Xiao Bing for $17).

Quotes - Pu-erh
„The best test is if, when drinking tea, there are any of prickling, tingling, numbing sensations on or near the tip of the tongue. If this is so one can be reasonably certain that agro-chemicals are present.“

„hou fajiao; 后发酵 - Post-fermented. 后hou - behind, after. 发; fa - has many meanings; to develop, expand, bring into existences, start; rise or expand when fermented. 酵 jiao - fermented. Together 发酵 means to ferment. Confusion often arises as the term fajiao is used to refer to both processes of fermentation and oxidation. The more specific term yang hua - 氧化 refers specifically to oxidation.“

2013 Yunnan Simao Premium Green Tea "Gao Shan Yin Ya"
1 reviewThis is one of the best quality green tea which is produced in Yunnan province. First spring harvest in early March 2013 from high mountain, picked tender buds and carefully processed. Though this tea is often called "Bi luo Chun" in the marketplace, Neither appearance nor taste are similar with original "Bi Luo Chun". The materials were picked from Yunnan varietal tree - Yun Kang No.10 (different from Bi Luo Chun Xiao Ye Zhong tree). So we name this tea "Gao Shan Yin Ya" and it means...
