A very nice Don hung Pao tea,ordered from other shops but the taste wasnt as good as at the china teapot,thank you!will definitely be using your service again.
An excellent high quality tea. The Baihao YinZhen is crisp and refreshing. We found it great over several infusions. It also came in beautiful packaging and was delivered promptly.
Will definitely be ordering again in future.
4 stars because I didn't like some of the teas, but that's what I paid for, to find out what I liked.
Green tea is lovely, it tastes like seaweed broth. If you didn't like it, you'd call it fishy. I tried black tea first, and was a bit disappointed - it tasted like a fancy version of yorkshire tea in a slightly boring way. White tea is subtle but sweet and nice, but you don't get many steeps out of it before it just tastes like water. Oolong is a bit of an aquired taste but I've tried it a couple times now and I think I like it more and more - it's a mixture of green and white, but a bit fermented? There were two packages of black teas, with the difference is that one was smoked and one wasn't. Maybe it could have been a different tea, like a pu-er, which is the tea I'm going to buy and try next. Happy with the purchase
Delicate, light and refreshing. My go to tea from my go to Chinese tea vendor!
