Tea reviews
Tea with noble fungus
This review helped: 0 / 0
I approached this tea with slight apprehension because of fungus, which is intentionally added to tea. Tea produced in 2008 is then three years stored to allow noble fungus spore of Eurotium Cristatus perfectly spread in tea. However, concerns were misplaced and it turned out to be a pleasant tea time. Tea contains a large proportion of leafstalks. The brew smells pleasantly earthy. There is no trace of musty or fustiness in the taste. The taste is cultivated, smooth, very gently earthy with woody flavour of nuts. It leaves a pleasant long-lasting sweetness in the mouth. It is a pleasant tea that opened the world of dark teas Hei Cha to me. Their prices are not so escalated as Puerhs are. 700g for $6,90 is very pleasant.

Quotes - Pu-erh
„Fragrance
Broad leaf variety old tree tea aromas can generally be divided into the following;
fruit-flower fragrance, honey-flower fragrance , honey-sweet fragrance, date-jujube fragrance, orchid flower fragrance , camphor fragrance, sticky rice fragrance , lotus flower fragrance , mellow-aged fragrance
Some teas are highly fragrant, others have refined and prolonged fragrance. Although there are many different kinds of fragrance, they should all be natural, smooth and easy to get a feeling for. These fragrances appear when the tea is drunk and are not evident when smelling the tea.“

Experiencing tea
„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.“
