  By ,

Meng Zhr Pu’er is an Autumn 2012 harvested, unfermented (sheng/raw) pu’er from South Yunnan, China. This tea is from Jalam Teas. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Jalam Teas, they have a monthly tea club. For $19 a month they will send you a 100 gram pu’er cake, with lots of information, photos or videos on the work that was put into making your pu’er cake. Each tea is hand sourced and in limited quantities. Before I crack into my sample pu’er cake, I gotta mention how much I love the card that came with Meng Zhr Pu’er.

Coconut Matcha from Red Leaf Tea – Oolong Owl Tea Review

  By ,

Coconut Matcha is from Red Leaf Tea‘s huge flavored matcha line up. Red Leaf Tea is an US online tea seller, known mostly for their customizable flavored matcha and matchaccino mix. I’ve had quite a number of Red Leaf Tea‘s flavored matcha, though I tend to drink through them slowly. The caffeine in matcha hits me hard with crazy energy that I feel like I could scale a wall. With that said, I restrict matchas as a morning or early afternoon tea. I was recommended to try Red Leaf Tea‘s Coconut Matcha as I heard it is really good, especially for coconut fans. With my… Continue reading, hoot!

Oolong Owl Tea Tip #1 – Get organized by adding notes to your tea

  By

There is a point a tea drinker reaches when you have so much tea stashed and you lose track of specifics for each tea in your collection. As a tea drinker with a big stash, I’ve come across tea stash organization problems like: Steeping a cup of tea that was fantastic, especially after experimenting with the steep times or amounts, and forgot what I did when making the next cup. Finding a package of tea in the back of your cupboard and have no idea how old it is. The tea came without steeping instructions, no ingredient list, or isn’t in… Continue reading, hoot!

Marshmallow Treat Genmaicha – Strawberry and Peanut Butter – from 52 Teas

  By ,

It’s time to review more Marshmallow Treat Genmaicha Teas! 52 Teas / Zoomdweebies‘ Strawberry Marshmallow Treat Genmaicha and Peanut Butter Marshmallow Treat Genmaicha! I’ve previously reviewed S’mores Genmaicha and I also own the regular Marshmallow Treat Genmaicha. Both are excellent teas. I was happy to see 52 Teas came out with Strawberry Marshmallow Treat Genmaicha and Peanut Butter Marshmallow Treat Genmaicha. I make some killer rice crispy treats. My secret is extra marshmallows, a generous splash of homemade vanilla extract (made with brandy) or sometimes a whole vanilla bean pod scraped in. My favorite variation of rice crispy treats is to add caramel squares or… Continue reading, hoot!

  By ,

Purple Peach is a white bai mu dan (aka white peony) tea with blue mallow flowers and natural peach flavoring. This tea blend is from Steep City Teas, US based tea seller.

Lapsang Souchong from The Persimmon Tree – Oolong Owl Tea Review

  By ,

Lapsang Souchong is an organic tea smoked over pine needles. This unique tasting black tea is sold by The Persimmon Tree, a California online tea seller. Alright Tea Peeps, I’ve never had a straight up Lapsang Souchong before. So far I’ve had Lapsang Souchong buried in campfire smokey tea blends. Even in blends, I quickly deduct that crazy smokey flavor as a Lapsang Souchong. I felt it was time for me to try Lapsang Souchong for the first time straight up, especially since I got a tea blend with Lapsang Souchong I’m planning to review later this week. Dry Leaf Opening the tin… Continue reading, hoot!
