Tasters Review:
Premium Silky Green Tea from Bird Pick Tea & Herb has an AWESOME aroma! It’s like nothing I have ever smelled before!
The only way I can describe the dry loose leaf aroma is intensely buttered flavored popcorn – I think I can even smell a little naturally salted flavor – unless I just am associating the aroma with buttered popcorn so much so that my mind is playing tricks on me! Whatever it is I have to say I would easily give the aroma on this one a 100!!!!
These are some crazy wild leaves, too, that put on quite the show as they unfurl!
The taste is also Buttery! Buttered Veggies! Buttered Popcorn! It’s semi-sweet and a very flavorful green! The more I sip it the more sweeter it gets! This is smooth! It reminds me of a milky oolong but then it reminds me of a buttery green! It may be somewhere in the middle – regardless I am REALLY enjoying this one!
This is probably one of the most memorable greens I have had in a LONG time!
I ended up doing multiple infusions on this one too! I highly recommend trying multiple infusions with this one! The 2nd infusions is completely different than the first but far from disappointing!!!!
This is MUCH sweeter and MUCH MORE silkier and creamy and sooth the 2nd time around! It’s less buttery and more sweet with the 2nd infusion. It’s still FULL of flavor tho and a wonderful tasting green!!!
As for the 3rd infusion…
Again it’s completely different from the previous infusion! This is still intensely flavored but this time around it’s more of a grassy green with slight buttery notes underneath. It still ends rather smooth and I would still call it silky but a grassier silky instead of a buttered popcorn silky/creamy…maybe more like a broccoli type!?
I LOVE YOU Silky Green!
Nepali Oolong Tea from The Tao of Tea
Tea Type: Oolong Tea
Where To Buy: The Tao of Tea
Product Description:
Very buttery, almost void of any astringency. Full-bodied, smooth with flavor of dried, preserved plums.
Tasters Review:
Nepali Oolong from The Tao of Tea has a faded fresh yet cocoa-powder aroma to it before infusing.
The leaves are WILD and fun! They almost have a natural tye-dyed effect with natural and earthy colors! I LOVE these leaves!
The smell of this completely changes as it infuses! While infusing there is a nice, unique scent…buttery but very plum-like with a hint of nuttiness! The leaves are swimming and dancing around in my cup. They are very active lil buggers! They have a lot of character! I like that in a tea!
The color of the liquor is very light brown with almost a greyness to it.
The taste is very pure. It seems to quench my thirst. There are both fruity and nutty flavors present…maybe more plum notes than nut notes, however.
This is a VERY Impressive Oolong! It’s creamy and buttery and has a very nice aftertaste!

Tasters Review:
I haven’t been this excited about a plain green tea in a LONG time! I swear Shanti made this tea especially for me! So I will take this time to say THANK YOU Shanti Tea!!
Darjeeling Green Tea from Shanti Tea is a medium strength green tea but it’s pretty equal in all aspects of grassy, buttery, sweet, juicy, mouth-watering, floral, and it’s VERY smooth. I guess one could say that this Darjeeling Green Tea from Shanti Tea didn’t play any favorites when it comes to one taste over the other and I am fine with that. Everything works out and plays nice with each other. There is a pleasant aftertaste which really makes me smile!
This is a really nice tea!
I REALLY REALLY LIKE THIS TEA!
HEY! Did I mention, I like this tea?
Richard’s Popcorn-And-A-Movie Oolong from Ducky Life Tea
Tea Type: Oolong
Where To Buy: Ducky Life Tea
Product Description:
We named this amazing Oolong for its distinctive buttery aroma and its fascinating taste-rich, smooth, and slightly sweet, with intriguing butter-like overtones. It reminds us of buttered popcorn. The tea, from the high mountains of Taiwan, has broad leaves that brew up beautifully to a light golden color. It’s absolutely delicious! One whiff, one sip, and you know you’ve found something special.
Tasters Review:
Recently I was introduced to Ducky Life Tea. I really LOVE the “extra things” this company does such as the company name – CUTE, the logo – PRECIOUS, the tins – nice, convenient, handy, and durable…not to mention the packaging – unique and memorable!
Their website is user-friendly and pleasing to the eye. They have great customer service and answered my email very quickly. They have some really nifty gift sets and gift ideas as well!
Then it comes to the tea…
The first Ducky Life Tea I tried was their Richard’s Popcorn-And-A-Movie Oolong and my tea experience really WAS ducky!
I’m not sure if it’s because of the name or it actually smells like this or not…but…
The loose leaf ACTUALLY SMELLS like corn kernels prior to popping! The taste is buttery and the post-infusion aroma smelled even more buttery. Not like buttered veggies like other oolongs, this really did make me think I was in a movie theatre! The buttery scent was more of a butter popcorn – just like the name indicates. The beginning of the sip is sweeter – then it turns a little bit vegetal but it’s a gentle veggie taste. I am honored to add Richard’s Popcorn-And-A-Movie Oolong from Ducky Lie Tea to my stash!
