Narien Teas

Quick link: Narien Teas

I've reviewed several Narien offerings on Tea Finely Brewed before (see below), and tried quite a few others. Narien might not have the largest offering, but I've been impressed with every tea of theirs that I've tried.

Here are a few of my favourites from the Narien stock:

• Earl Grey: If you have a soft spot for Earl Grey - I certainly do - you cannot go wrong with Narien's sublime offering. Bergamot and blue cornflowers blended over quality Chinese black tea - this is a cut above your average Earl Grey.
• Formosa Fanciest: A wonderful handmade oolong from Taiwan. Best thing about this tea? The dry leaf aroma. Makes my mouth water every time.
• Zhejiang Mao Feng: Zhejiang Province is better known for being the home of Longjing tea, but this Mao Feng - made from a bud and two leaves of equal length - is exquisite.

All the Narien teas I've reviewed:

• http://teafinelybrewed.com/shop/o-cha/tokoname-teapot-ki703/|There are a few things that I love about this teapot. It's beautiful, but it's also highly functional. For one, it pours perfectly. This is the first teapot with a side-handle that I've used, and it surprised me just how intuitive and easy it is to pour with it. It also has an metal screen infuser that stops it from getting clogged while you pour. The only downside is that it can be a bit tricky cleaning out the teapot after use. I rinse it out with running water, but it's a challenge to get all the little bits of tea out — especially with smaller green teas.
