Taiwanese Tea Sampler

Good idea, but might cause more problems

I loved this idea to see what tea Taiwan had to offer. If there was a sampler that had every single tea in the shop, I’d probably take that one too. Going through this box of delicious tea gave me a better idea of what kind of flavor profiles I’m more interested in. I was hoping to narrow it down to one favorite but they’re all so good… my only nitpick is that I’d have probably preferred to have a sampler with about double what that sample pack had, as a few times I tried to brew and just didn’t nail it the first time, but the second time I did better… I’d probably do better with more attempts. You should probably just go ahead and order 2, while tariffs are down. Go go go!!! My pro-tip after my first failure (it was drinkable, but I was not impressed) on the bi luo chun is to pour the water into your gaiwan/cup and then add the leaves and let them float down. Came out significantly better that way, imo. I say more problems cause after you try these your next order is gonna be like $200 cause you want them all.

Lovely Selection!

I had a hard time choosing what teas I wanted, and the sampler collection seems like a great option to try different teas and see what I liked. Now I know what teas I want to buy on my upcoming order!

Best place to start!

I loved this sampler so much. I will be ordering larger bags of every tea from it. The information card that came with the set was very helpful for steeping instructions as well as what notes to expect.
