Yezi Tea

this was another from the other day which was sadly ruined by my other half using my travel mug lid for coffee and then forgetting to really soak it when we washed it :(

Another tea from the other day – sometimes i need a reminder as to how delicious these yezi teas are. I am a pretty big fan of their blacks and their puerh and they have some great customer service. It’s nice to have their teas back in my cupboard!

nom! so many teas, so little time…. and my poor cupboard is about to explode tomorrow..or at least this weekend lol

yay! i finally managed to get another yezi tea order in. I say finally because i’m sure it was nearly a year between orders and that sucks because they really are a great tea company. I’ve enjoyed both their “red” and their black teas and this one is no exception. It was really nice to revisit this today. delicious!

I think TB and i are on the same page with this one. it’s delicious but i love the first one i tried today way more.

This tea is slightly sweeter than the Jin Jun Mei and less earthy. A little cocoa and caramel but mostly just a decent cup.

i picked this one up as a sample in my Yezi tea order because since i’ve last had it, i’ve had other Jin Jun mei’s that i really love and some that i didn’t like. I wanted to see whether my tastes has changed in the past year or so as far as this particular tea was concerned. turns out, not much has changed on this front – if anything i’m still not a huge fan of this version of jin jun mei..i’ll leave this one for my tea sister terri haha

sipdown! While i enjoy this tea, Jin Jun mei appears to not be my preferred tea. This is a really enjoyable cup, but it’s not what i would be drawn to first. Still, happy to have tried it! I’m really enjoying the Yezi teas!

hmmm this tastes totally different than the one from Tao Leaf Tea. This one is more up my alley because of the woody, malty tones in it. The aroma is utterly chocolatey to me, though that doesn’t come through in the taste as much, which is fine because that’s why i have LB :) Overall – i prefer other black tea i tried from yezi today but this one isn’t bad.

mmmm this is a pretty nice puerh. I’ve been sipping on it throughout the morning and while it’s good, i prefer the puerhs from mandala that i’ve had. This has a very mellow profile. It’s got a bit of an earthiness to it, but not over poweringly so. this is a yunnan, so i expect that it contributes to it’s mellowness. Overall, still a good little example of what yezi tea is all about. nice!

Farewell delicious tea! we shall meet again i’m sure as I am a fan of Yezi as a company and because of their teas :)

not sure what i did the last time i had this but it was downright perfect. Deliciously malty, rich and fantastic.

noms. I am lazy these days. Maybe it’s not lazy so much as…. drained. I keep falling behind with things – tea related and otherwise. I had this one a couple days ago – feeling like very little progress is happening with my tea cupboard this year. lol it’s almost april and i’m still well over what i ended last year with. Still enjoying the teas though, so that’s all that really matters. :)

mmmm delicious tea for a “first day back at work” not much to say here beyond yes, yes and more yes. still a darn good cup of tea!

Pulled this one out today because i wanted delicious things to drink. I am still a fan of this one! It was malty and delicious..and that’s all a girl could ask for on a day like today!

the last of my teas from today…figured that i’d change things up a little and have this version instead of my other versions…….. i’m still pretty sure that the 2013 version from YS is my all time favourite of this type of tea. but this one? still pretty darn good. :)

Final Count: 126

mmm pulled this one out of the cupboard this morning because i wanted to revisit it. So good…just the right sort or tea for a return to work after the holidays. this has a great fruity sort of taste, with a little malt and cocao thrown in. :)

SIPDOWN! and it’s a good once since it’s 1 of 2 teas i had left from december. so woot woot for me. 13+hr day but at least i can smile at a few things :) There will be more yezi orders in the future because i love their “red” teas and their service!

oh december teas… how you will be gone from my cupboard..someday! lol i have one more cup of this left since today there was just a little too much tea for a sipdown heh. i’m actually not terribly upset by that because i rather enjoy this one with just a little maple syrup…yes VariaTEA… A LITTLE! not a tablespoon! lol
