April Tea Tastings
2nd: Green Puers. We’ll start the month out by sampling our featured Puer of the Month, Jing Gu Run Ling 8545 next to one of our best green puers, Ma Guo Tou. Join as to see how the new comer stands up to tea royalty.
9th: Premium Greens. While Imperial grade teas are the “best” we shouldn’t forget about the Premium grades, which tend to taste a little stronger. Bi Luo Chun and Huang Shan Mao Feng taste amazing in either of their grades, so today we’ll let the premiums have the spotlight.
16th: Dark Oolongs. A couple of months ago we featured the “green” oolongs, so this month we’ll take a walk on the dark side. Bai Ji Guan is one of the four ancient rock oolongs, and has a complex flavor that hints at cocoa. Huang Zhi Xiang, or Yellow Sprig, is a Dan Cong oolong cultivated from a 700-year-old bush and has a sweet mellow flavor.
23rd: Black Puers. Since last month’s featured Puer wasn’t included in the tasting schedule, we thought we’d give you one more chance to try it. Jing Gu 520 Shu Zhuan may be young, but it has an amazingly rich taste and Jennifer claims it might even be one of the best Puers she has tried. Little Rose Tuocha is a lighter, mellower puer with a hint of sweet rose to the taste.
