A cup of Pu-Erh Orange.
Gotta finish the sample


I can honestly say I like 3 green teas.

2 Chinese:

Quote:
Longjing tea (simplified Chinese: 龙井茶; traditional Chinese: 龍井茶; pinyin: lóngjǐng chá) or Dragon Well
tick

&

White Monkey, tick.

and one Japanese - Sencha Uji, tick.

I would like to try one more Gyokuro Green Tea. The price is a bit too much but I know I will get it one day. Because of the price, all the more reason to buy a good, expensive tea to be qualified to judge it.
Spoiler:
Otherwise it might be like in the old Russian joke:

- Hey, Vasya, their Beatles sux. Very boring and dull.
- How do you know?
- Yesterday, after we had a bottle of Stolichnaya, Petya sung their songs

Black teas is an unknown territory.
I like Keemun, at least the one I bought in Bath's Tea House Emporium tick.
I like Lapsang Souchong, when I and a weather are in a certain mood, tick.
I like at least one Ceylon from Taylors of Harrogate, tick.
I like some of Assam teas, but I didn't try that many. Some of the ones I did try I didn't like.
I like Bath's Tea House Emporium English Breakfast, but I have no idea what teas the blend consists of, tick.

I know that I like some oolong teas, but it needs more investigation.

I am not fan of white teas, although they are considered to be the healthiest.

I have never tried yellow teas. No clue what they are.

I like cooked/black Pu-Erh with a distinct earthy flavour, as an after meal tea, tick.

So, effectively I am a newbie and only at the very beginning of the tea road. Hopefully, it will be a long, life time journey with lots of fun
