Life in Teacup
All posts tagged "Life in Teacup"Huangshan Mao Feng from Life in Teacup
Huangshan Mao Feng has the special distinction of being of China’s famous Tribute Teas, teas which were hand-picked by Chinese emperors to become their tea of choice.
Huangshan is a mountain range in southern Anhui Province, and as such, Huangshan Mao Feng is a location-specific tea. Mao feng is produced elsewhere (I will be reviewing one from Zhejiang Province later this week), but Huangshan Mao Feng can be considered the heartland of mao feng teas.
Bai Hao Oolong (Oriental Beauty) Superior Grade from Life in Teacup
From Xinzhu County in Taiwan comes this bai hao oolong, sent to me by Gingko from Life in Teacup.
What a tea. It isn’t as aromatic as some Taiwanese oolongs, but the real treat is in the mouth. One sip and I was amazed at how the tea’s honeyed sweetness coated the mouth. I’ve had bai hao oolongs before (reviewed one here), but this one is, without a doubt, the best I’ve ever had.
