  Tea Review Blog — Authority: 139
  This Oolong brewed up a very light clear liquid and has a very sweet fragrance! A mixture of fresh cut meadow - orchid - and jasmine fill my senses as I breath in before a sip. The tea is gentle and tastes lovely mixed with its fragrance.

  I love the story behind the name of this tea, so I’ll start off with the version given on the Norbu Tea website: “Tie Guan Yin or ‘Iron Goddess of Mercy’ is named after the Bodhisatva Avalokiteshvara, who in the Chinese context is known as the Goddess of Compassion or Mercy. The name of this tea is associated ...

  The first cold of the season has struck. So far I’m still capable of breathing through my nose, but my knees feel like a bag of popcorn reaching its second minute in the microwave, and my brain is, as near as I can tell, missing. Normally I avoid trying new teas at a time like this, but I feel a desperate need to ...

  I’m not entirely sure what Lao Mansa means, I’ve googled, and Binged, and yahooed my fingers off but all I can find are references to this tea, vague references to a Hindu god maned Mansa Devi, some mention of an ancient african king named Mansa something-or-other, and not much else. Maybe its the village, a ...

  Teaviews.com — Authority: 144
  Probably of no surprise to anyone, I am an absolute sucker for Dian Hong teas. In my book, they rank #1 among all types of tea. I have rarely come across one that did not meet my two-thumbs-way-up approval. Norbu’s tea is no exception, but it does offer intricacies that separate it from the masses. Norbu Tea is ...

  Tea Review Blog — Authority: 139
  The flavor of this tea is exquisite, as has been my experience with every Norbu Tea that Ive been privileged enough to sample. The liquor is slightly thick, and this makes for a delightful mouthfeel -- sumptuous is the word that immediately comes to mind.

  As my love affair with tea has evolved I’ve found myself favoring oolongs more and more. However, for a while I was convinced that I just did not like Tie Guan Yin. I always found them “fake” tasting but I figured I should give it another shot. My sample arrived in a vacuum sealed pack which was nice because I ...

  This black tea offering from Norbu tea originates in the Xishuangbanna Prefecture of Yunnan province, and was harvested in the spring of 2009. The dry leaves—dark brown with a scattering of golden tips—are long and twisted, and have a faintly sweet aroma. I steeped a heaping teaspoonful in a cup of 208F water for ...
