2018 Hei Zhuan Black Brick Heicha from MyTeaPal club. This is a type of compressed Anhua Heicha that is not inoculated with "Golden Flowers" (Eurotium cristatum). Slightly smoky, very similar flavor to a rustic raw puerh. Lots of stems in the tea. Still figuring out how to brew this super densely compressed tea. Definitely Heicha for Raw Puerh drinkers!

The final tea from the May, 2025 MyTeaPal Club is Yibin Eco Green Tea. It is another Sichuan early spring green tea, this one from Yinxing Village, Yibin, Sichuan. Fresh steamed sweet green vegetables and umami. Slight astringency and lingering sweetness.

Another tea from the MyTeaPal May 2025 club, Cloud Mist Green aka Guiding Yunwu Tribute Tea. The brewed tea is a pleasant pale green that hard to capture. Umami, light fresh vegetal character, touch of returning sweetness.

I really should remember to drink my green teas fresher. This is a very nice Meng Ding Ganlu from the MyTeaPal Club, and the freshness adds to the enjoyment of the scent and flavor.

Enjoying my remaining Dancong samples from the MyTeaPal club, as the heyday of direct shipped cheap goods from China winds down. Gong Xiang Dancong, a lighter roast processed tea.

Dancong Oolong are often called after a fragrances they evoke, sometimes these fragrances are familiar to Western audiences, sometimes they are not. This Po Tou Xiang Dancong from MyTeaPal is one of the "not". Supposedly evocative of the flowers of Chinese Violet (Telosma cordata), I've got no frame of reference for the scent. It is a very nice!

Vincent told me this year's MyTeaPal Club rock teas, (April, 2025,) are nicer than the batch from last year, (February, 2024,) but this Dong Pian Rou Gui from last year IS actually very good. Medium-Heavy Oxidation and roast, a bit uncommon in modern rock tea producers.

2023 Dong Pian Da Hong Pao (Big Red Robe) from MyTeaPal Club. Working through some samples backlog, a very nice rock tea blend.

Yong Chun Fo Shou from MyTeaPal is a very green Fujian oolong , low oxidation and little to no roast. Enjoyable and perfume forward, more in modern Anxi or Taiwan style than Wuyi.

Some nice Ya Shi Xiang Dancong Oolong via the MyTeaPal Club.

Second dose of 2024 Da Fo Long Jing from My Tea Pal Club. Absolutely nothing wrong with it, but the flavor is a tad subtle for my personal taste.

One of my tea friends was giving me a hard time about drinking old green tea. Most of my 2024 green tea orders are still in transit, but I did get the MyTeaPal club... This is 2024 Da Fo Long Jing (dragonwell) from Jianguo Village.

Last of the (mostly) One River Tea Osmanthus scented black tea "Gui Hua Hong". (Technically, a blend of One River and MyTeaPal osmanthus scented black teas filled out with some "Fujian Breakfast" black tea from White2Tea.)

Osmanthus Monday, finishing bags of two Osmanthus scented black teas with a blend of the two. (One was a little heavy and one a little light, blend about just right.)

#HongCha #BlackTea #OneRiverTea #MyTeaPal #Tea #Cha #DailyTea @tea

Working again on similar teas, Osmanthus Scented Qi Hong (qimen/keemun black tea) from MyTeaPal. Pleasantly light osmanthus flavor allows the tea to shine and the osmanthus scent to complement.

2011 Cao Gen Raw Puerh from MyTeaPal Club. I usually associate Bulang with burly smoky teas, but this is not. The tea itself is fairly sweet and not super assertive. Stored in Guangdong since 2011, the assertive part of this raw puerh is the storage flavor. A good contrast to the clean storage of yesterday's Mangfei Dashu.
