2025 年 3 月茶俱乐部

Sweet, creamy, woodyness, slight astringency, slight bitterness, deep stone fruit pit after-taste. Endurant and pleasant Realising that i've been writing instringency instead of astringency in all my previous post... Life is full of mistakes, i guess i can blame my teaslexia

Today i'm very satisfied with my new Gaiwan. This one is made of premium bone china, it is very light (only 25g with the lid), smooth, thin and shiny. Well fired as all part are vitrified, even the bottom rim. Bone china is the only teaware that is not vegan. Craftman use bovine bone ash that is mixed with pure kaolin and minerals to make this very fine and elegant porcelain.

A new personal favourite. The most pleasant tea I've had in a while. It has low roast, great mouthfeel and lingering aftertaste that is always sweet and engaging. The nutty flavors are very welcome among the sweet fruit flavors that arise in the tasting. After swallowing the experience improves and grows. I can't understate how sweet and rich it is, you'll have to trust me.

I like the more roasted ones from this month a lot better. Really tastes like a high mountain oolong. On a second try… this is still my least favorite of this month’s tea club teas. A little too green for me!

Eyes - Dry Leaf: chalky dark brown and yellow leaves Nose - Dry Leaf: milk, toasted nuts, cherry Nose - Wet Leaf: stone fruits and floral bouquets Eyes - Liquor: thick, cloudy, yellow liquor with peach undertones Mouth - Texture: thick and creamy with a textured minerality Mouth - Taste: creamy and sweet, moving to a fruity/floral finish reminiscent of peach and lilac Mouth - Finish: distinct mineral tingle with an incredibly clean and juicy finish. Lasting lilac. Nose - Empty Cup: warm brown butter Eyes - Wet Leaf: medium-sized olive green and purple-brown leaves Body - Sensation: laidback stoned sensation Pleasant, easy-drinking Ya Shi Xiang with classic creamy/fruity/floral notes and lots of minerality. Can’t wait to see what else this month has in store!

Very rich, pleasing tea. I'm a bit tired of Ya Shi Xiang, being the most prevalent Dancong in Spain, but I wanted to give it a chance to see what this winter harvest provides. It is by no means rare, it very much showcases the virtues of the varietal: creamy, Vegetal, fruity with slight umami. It is a very consistently flavourful tea, with increasing and notable astringency, that lasts for many steeps. I have to note the freshness and quality of the leaves. Great for long sessions.

I'm not sure what fresh Osmanthus flowers smell like, but this is a delightful Dancong Oolong with robust flavor and scent. (As far as I can tell, there are no actual osmanthus flowers in this tea. It's just a Dancong that smells a bit like osmanthus when brewed.)

3 because it doesn't fit my taste, still a very good tea. Tea that feels perfumy, the first brew was very aromatic and persistent. It is almost too strong for me. Will this tea do something for bad breath 🤔🤣 If this tea would be a picture it would be a old lady tea room with a lots of flowers and wooden furniture. For sure i will offer the other pack i have My Wuyi tea dealer recommended to drink oolong with cup not with my bowl. So i tryed MyTeaPal cup for the first time. Excellent quality, smooth translucent porcelaine unfortunately i don't like the branding in the cup, and it feels bad too to the touch. Thankfully Xing will offer me a good cup soon 😁

A quick session during lunch break, and I will resume tonight. But for now I'm puzzled by this Osmanthus wulong: less peachy than expected while sipping, but with a persistent aftertaste of candied peaches.

Pretty nice. Dancong. Fruity and floral. I love March because it forces to me drink Dancongs more. Dancongs are so interesting but I never usually reach for them when I want an oolong because they’re so easy to mess up if you get one thing wrong. But today’s brew was quite successful. Very much enjoyed drinking the Gui Hua Xiang with the club members.

Lovely aroma. Not my fav this month, but really good! Fun Sunday tea club with Pascal!

0 TDS distilled water with TeaCurious Original recipe to make 50 TDS water. Good Dancong, but not sure I would buy more of it.

The weakest out of the 4 club teas, but by no means bad. Very flavourful, but lacking in aroma and body. The tasting starts strong, then plummets, then surges again after swallowing. It is recommended to use longer steeping times to strengthen its good qualities: floral, fruity and fleeting with gorgeous colour.

Remind me of pot pourrit aroma. Interesting and endurant tea My room is filled with a lovely aroma

Smells very heavily roasted. Lid has also a honey smell. Struggling with this tea. Im not sure how to bring out the best of the tea. My mouth feels very dry.

Tds says 240. Thats is weird because there is no limescale. Soo much better then 7grams. Also the tds was high this time 240. I am wondering if that makes a change.

This one is really good. I think the almond is still my favorite this month, but this is a very close second. Very thick, oily, and goes and goes. Around brew 7-8 and still going. Love this one! Thick, rich, fragrant, and in great company with Sunday morning tea club!

Gong fu Sweet floral notes and sweet nuts. This was way too bitter for me. I will try it again with less leave

Eyes - Dry Leaf: twisted, deep purple-brown leaves Nose - Dry Leaf: deep toasted nuts and a hint of flowers Nose - Wet Leaf: charcoal baked goods and nuts Eyes - Liquor: thick, amber orange liquor Mouth - Texture: smooth and mellow Mouth - Taste: charcoal and nuts leading to a floral, tropical finish Mouth - Finish: lasting lychee and violet aroma Nose - Empty Cup: violet and toasted nuts Eyes - Wet Leaf: olive, red-brown, and dark purple small-to-medium sized leaves Body - Sensation: (can’t really assess, I have a headache and feel fairly lethargic since I’m sick) From a few days ago, I can’t wait to taste again now that my senses should be back 🤣🤣

My favorite tea from the MTP club so far. A true treasure that I had never heard from before. Exceptional floral aroma... With a catch. You need to be able to taste the violet compound which is not that common. I had it with people who could taste violets and they loved it, but some people told me it was tasteless and not floral. To me, it was a long lasting, complex, extremely flavourful tea that reminded me of the traditional violet candy from my home city (Madrid). Deep, rich and with a delicious molasses hui Gan.
