Review 44: Tavalon’s Grand Pouchong

Jason — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 17:15:21 +0000

Click the vid to watch:

Price (as of post): 1.2 oz= $5.50
Score: 79

Scored lowly not because it was a “bad” tea, but because it didn’t reflect baozhong characteristics. Would do just fine compared to other Wuyi’s (like Qilan).

Score: 79

An ’09 tea would likely get a much higher score. Remember to select fresh tea, and store it to preserve freshness.

Review 19: Simple Leaf’s Chloe

Jason — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 17:38:49 +0000

Although I generally try to avoid Cowell-like harshness when reviewing teas, Chloe‘s display merits a 70 at best. But, like American Idol, it is the audience votes that determines survival from week to week.
