Tea Review : Lao Tong Zhi (Revisited)
Posted on November 23rd, 2007 by Justin and filed under Tea Review |
After passing some of the Lao Tong Zhi Cooked tea leaves to experiment, he came back with a way to brew this tea. I had previously left it out in the open to dry for quite a few days.
After the water boiled, I immediately poured into the tea pot and rinsed away the first brew in less than 15secs. I repeat the same process once more. I noticed this 2nd brew of golden brown colored tea which I had poured onto my pot. Initially I thought I could have rinsed off the essence of the tea. I was expecting disappointment or should I say, already feeling disappointed.

Tea Review: Lao Tong Zhi 2005 (Cooked)
Posted on November 10th, 2007 by Justin and filed under Tea Review |
I was excited after getting my hands on some new tea. However I did not have the chance to try it out til the next day. I had bought this Lao Tong Zhi, both cooked and raw. I make my usual preparations to make my tea. However I was treated to sheer disappointment. It was no where compared to its raw counterpart. The taste was bland and it tasted nowhere compared to some of the cheaper tea which I had before. I guess this could be due to the fact that I’d been enjoying too much of the Yunan Tuo Cha. Hope the taste will change for the better in the next couple of years. Meanwhile its been chuck away.
