Ti Kuan Yin

Brews well. Very tasty!

Excellent quality tea. If you like Oolong, this is sort of...fruity Oolong. It has a wider array of flavor, that is more naturally fruit like to my tastes. The quality of the tea is superb, it's very mild with no bitter aftertastes. I always appreciate that Prince of Peace has a little inspector card in each box. I'm glad to know Inspector Liuzhentao has checked my tea for awesomeness. I don't know why I like that, but it's nice.

I bought this because I like oolong, forgetting that Ti Kuan Yin is so lightly oxidized that it's really closer to a green tea than a traditional oolong, and I'm not a big fan of green tea. It's pretty good anyway, and seems to be good quality. I will say that it's nowhere near the epitome of Ti Kuan Yin, but that's OK. I had some loose Monkey Picked a while back that had aroma that would knock your socks off, probably, without exaggeration, five times more aromatic than this. It cost a whole lot more though.

The tea does not taste as Ti Kuan Yin tea. In fact, it has no any distinct flavor at all.

Great

Weak and lacks deep flavor

This is the second or third box I’ve purchased. I also love their puer tea. Gourmet? Probably not. It is our “comfort food” tea when eating Asian food at home. Great flavor. Every Chinese restaurant should use this as a tea if if they don’t have anything better, because this is really a great standard tea. I thoroughly endorse it and give it as gifts too. It’s just a great tea.

I never even heard of this Tea, until I saw it listed on the Prince of Peace site, so out of curiosity, I decided to get one and see what it tasted like. Well, I liked it. It's kind of on the Very Mild side, but still has it's own unique Flavor, maybe one step before a Puh-Erh Tea, and I liked it. However, just use 1-bag per cup, as I did notice Bitterness emerges if you use more than 1-bag/cup. I could drink it all morning, and all afternoon long, as it was Gentle on my Stomach, gave me that Relaxing Feeling your body gets from the L-Theanine and Catchins, plus Pumped up my Brain, at the same time. I did not actually try doing it, yet, but I did read that there is something called a "Tea High", which is different from any other kind of "High", and really needs to be experienced, before you can truly understand what it's like. You just need to allow your System to detox all the L-Theanine and Catchins, back down to a level where that "Tea High" feeling goes away, and you should be ok after that. I think the only "Down" Side is you cannot Sleep, while you're in the "Tea High" state, but, you should be ok after it goes away. I like the 1-bag/cup version of Prince of Peace "Ti Kuan Yin" Tea. It's definitely on the Very MILD side. If you want a BOLD'er version, try TenRen's offering. It's more expensive (but I think it's still worth the price) but Very MUCH STRONGER and BOLDER Taste and Flavor, by a LOT. You can also add more bags, if it's still not Strong Enough for you. Plus, it NEVER EVER gets BITTER... NEVER... no matter how many more bags you add, or how long it's been... !!! TenRen has an "Introduction" 20-bag size to Try It Out, and a 50-bag version, once you are SOLD on it. But, for me, I say I'm pleased with this Very MILD, Prince-of-Peace "Ti Kwan Yin" Tea, giving it a 3-Stars Rating, and am Recommending It, for those who just want a Cheap Charlie way to try "Ti Kuan Yin" Tea, to see whether you like it. I say, give yourself an adventure, and "GO FOR IT!!!" :o)
