2014 Dan Cong oolongs

2014 New teas have arrived...

I don't normally drink commercial grade teas, why drink it when there are better choices right?

This year's commercial special grade Honey Orchid dan cong is an exception.  Every time I drink it i like it more.  It has the depth and smoothness as an old tree tea, although not quite as deep and rich, but it's there.  Not bitter nor astringent.  A very good batch of honey orchid, the best since 2007 for the same class.

My other choice is the Lao Xian Weng old tree, outstanding!  Every aspect of this tea is how I like my tea.  When a tea is good, it goes well beyond flavor and taste.  JG put it in these words, when a tea contains essences that is life enhancing, it goes well beyond sensational satisfaction.  Many of the old trees resides up in the mountains with roots reaching deep and far under the earth, absorbing qi from heaven, nutrients from the multi-layers of rocks, clay and underground water.

As the weather is getting warmer and nicer in sunny southern California, out door and tea is inevitable!  This year, new series of tasting events will be held with special emphasis on getting to know tea and tea ware, also tasting techniques and taste development.  In addition to having great teas, learning would be the key.  We set up a fixed monthly tasting on every 3rd Sunday of the month for this purpose.  In case of rain or other natural reasons, we will announce cancellations ahead of time.  

The coming Sunday is our first public tea tastings if you can make it.  The June 8th tasting is a very very special one of best of the best green teas from various provinces of China.  These are the best selected by the growers themselves and judged by specialists.  The quantity is so small, you really don't want to miss this opportunity.  June 15 tasting is the beginning of our learning session, Yixing and what does it do to our teas! 


Note: we previously scheduled a tasting on May 11th, which is Mother's day.  As a result, we rescheduled the Green Tea tasting to the following Sunday, June 8th. 

Look forward to seeing you at beautiful Palos Verdes, California!
