drank Guei Fei by Camellia Sinensis
1394 tasting notes

This tea is so tasty! I have such mixed feelings on the Gui Fei it seems. I loved Butiki, did not enjoy Taiwan Tea Crafts, and now love this one.

I’ve drank 2-3 steeps of each cups worth from the sample. The floral aspect is very much toned down and far more in the background. There’s a sweet baked type flavour with very little to almost no mineral flavour.

1st steep 4 minutes
2nd steep 5.5 minutes

Preparation
200 °F / 93 °C 4 min, 0 sec 3 g 14 OZ / 414 ML

So many good reviews here for Camellia Sinensis. I need to give them a try.

Courtney

It really is derk!

LuckyMe I’ve been so impressed with CS so far and I’m planning a third order already hah!

I remember liking the Gui Fei from What-cha as well, just the TTC one was too floral for me?

Courtney

Good to know Cameron! I’ll have to add the What-cha to my wishlist.

I also really like the Gui Fei from Camellia Sinensis, and they have a nice roasted Dong Ding and some good green Taiwanese oolongs as well. They’re my go-to tea company in Canada!

Bio

I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos, herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens.

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, apricot, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it.

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan and have an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I’ll happily pick them out of blends).
