Tasters Review:
The first time I had this tea the dry leaf mixture smelled JUST LIKE York Peppermint Patties! Post Infusion it smelled like Black Tea, Peppermint, Cream. I remembered this ‘brewed up’ quick and dark! It tasted like black tea, mint, and vanilla. I remember saying that I LOVED the out-of the-bag aroma better than the actual taste of the tea…but the more I sipped the more I enjoyed it!
The 2nd time I sampled this I found it to be much more memorable! Much more minty and creamy, too! I really like this! I mean really like this! Many of you know my love for minty things!
I still think this smells like a Peppermint Patty but I love the fact that I can taste the Black Tea, The Mint, The Creaminess…all in one! This is very aromatic, very bold, very flavorful, and very tasty.
I think I will have another cup today and many more days to come!

Tasters Review:
Pearl of Fruits Tea from ESP Emporium is highly scented and very nice – to the eye, nose, and mouth!
Post infusion…everything seems to come together to create it’s-own aroma which is much different from before infusing but still VERY nice! I can smell the orange and floral tones a bit more than the others but not by much and I can smell a little something that reminds me of candy, too!
It has a very pleasant yet slightly juicy and floral taste to it but it’s certainly GOOD. I am very happy with this tea and so VERY glad I got to try it!

Tasters Review:
Vanilla Almond Oolong from Boston Tea Company has a very hearty almond taste. It’s on the verge of peanut butter or almond butter. (I have found I really like Almond Butter!) It also has a Lovely Oolong taste…somewhat woodsy…but it’s not the flavor that is in the fore-front. It’s paired with a nice floral-sweet undertone. The creamy vanilla! A delight! This is probably one of the most creamy oolongs I have ever had outside of a milk oolong!
I really REALLY like this tea! It exceeded my expectations!
Bai Lin Gong Fu Tea from Canton Tea Company
Tea Tye: Black Tea
Where To Buy: Canton Tea Company
Product Description:
One of the earliest (and best) Chinese black teas ever to be produced, Bai Lin Gong Fu is made from buds twisted into tight elegant gold-streaked curls. The liquor is reddish-brown and tastes naturally of caramel and cream so needs absolutely nothing added. This is a wonderful example of whole leaf black tea. It it is a glorious breakfast tea and so reasonably priced for a tea of this calibre, it can be an everyday affordable luxury.
Our Buyer’s notes
“The leaves of this tea have fine organgey yellow hairs, indicating the use of buds by the makers. Delightful, easy drinking black tea.”
Tasters Review:
Since Bai Lin Gong Fu black tea won the top prize of Three Star Gold Tea Expo this summer – I thought I would review this one today! I must note…only 91 products out of over 6,000 entries achieved three stars!!!!
I was lucky enough to try this tea a few months ago and then I just received a sample of it again yesterday! The tea freak that I am – I compared notes and I would LOVE to share my findings with you.
Here was my first attempt a few months ago:
This is a nice crisp taste with a caramel likeness to it. It has a mellow aftertaste is perfect for my palate! This is YUMMY Cold as well! I had 1 hot cup and 1 cold cups-worth. I Enjoyed them both. The hairy-fuzzy leaves left a little pollen-y residue to the touch but still a very neat leaf!
Now…the 2nd time I tried this was just yesterday…and here are my findings – that were much more memorable…
Right out of the package the aroma smacks you in the face!!! I like a loud tea! BUT…the smell was much different that I remember and unlike anything I have ever smelled! The smell of this reminds me of Ravioli! A bready/Tomato type smell and I just LOVE it!!!
The taste is also a little cakey but creamy!!! It’s a full and fairly bold RED – or Black tea taste – at the beginning and leads you into a lovely mellow aftertaste. The aftertaste encourages you to sip more!
I really like this! And completely understand why it won the awards!
