    Was a pleasure to watch. First thing that caught my attention are the tea cups - are you maybe testing new pottery for Mei Leaf shop? They look very nice and practical :) ...and of course I can't not mention how cool it is to watch you guys tasting tea together - every one of you has such a different style of tasting and expressions :) truly great watch which I had while drinking very old Sheng Pu Erh.

    Very excited because I've ordered a package of all of the new TGY except for the Sour Sap where I could only snatch up a taster + I still have a half full package of Superior Iron Goddess from my last order. I think I'll compare them in pairs once they arrive. From the descriptions I'm probably most excited for the Golden Yolk and Baked Goods.

  • @jasonblack4208
    @jasonblack4208 7 лет назад +2

    just ordered some Baked Goods a few days ago. based on this video, I think I made a good choice
    PS: your set up for this video was kind of....strange lol. wouldn't it have made more sense to pour the infusion into cups/pots with a spout or something to help pour so you wouldn't have to ladle it out and lose 90% of the heat?

    Whoa, these sold out really quickly! Luckily, I was able to secure some Superior Iron Goddess and Sip Spring, which judging from your descriptions would probably be my favourite of the bunch anyway :) Still, Sour Sap and Maden Dream sound interesting as well.

    It's funny to read the auto subtitle when you say Tie Guan Yin :D It says: "Diego onion", "Kiev onion", "Kate Williams", "Yeah going", "Chair guanyin" (this is the closest, I guess) :D :D

    I get confused when Dom describes the cultivar as "the type of plant" because aren't all teas made from the Camellia Sinensis? or is it like all house cats are Felis Domesticus but you still have Maine Coons, Siamese, Russian Blue ect?

    5:12 Thats rather strange.. I ordered the Superior Iron Goddess on meileaf.com and the taste was quite different from what you discribe. There were some slight floral or fruity notes(for example a hint of apple or peach peel) but the main taste was that of peas and carottes with butter. We also didnt taste cut grass like you would in many green teas. Very very tasty none the less.

    I want to buy samples of all of these, but they're not all in stock right now. :( Also, the sample bags are only 8g. It would be cool if y'all would sell a tie guan yin sample set with 15g samples of all of these. That would be more affordable than buying a full bag of each, while also providing a little more to really get a feel for each of them. It would also make purchasing easier and encourage people to try them all.

    • @gaplauche
      @gaplauche 7 лет назад

      Looks like (according to meileaf.com) you're unlikely to get more Sour Sap back in stock? At least not until the Fall? I went ahead and ordered taster samples of the rest.

    It’s hard to find true traditional Tieguanyin. So many tea sellers will call roasted low oxidation TGY “traditional”. What I want is more oxidation, not just producers taking these very light and creamy TGY and roasting them to hell and back and selling them as Chuantong.

    @emmalouie1663 5 лет назад

    Tea should taste like dirty burning raisins... Makes me sad that oolong and a lot of tea is about scents, smells, what the air coming off the tea is like. I want tea to TASTE as strongly as it smells. The oolongs I've had contain these cool floral aromas but barely taste like anything at all. It's like going to a restaurant only to sniff the food. Sitting down smelling good stuff and then only having tap water and ... still the bill. An esoteric diet based on smells - a crazy cult of scentetarians. :)
