 Review by  Olivia C  Read the original Reddit post here  Like many other tea enjoyers here, I was approached by Iteaworld and kindly offered to sample a selection of their classic teas. For this first review, I tested 2 oolongs and 2 black teas, paired with cheeses with the help of a very nice cheesemonger near my workplace! All teas were brewed Western style in a teapot. From top to bottom: Tie Guanyin & Gorgonzola by the spoon🍵As soon as the sachet is open, you're hit with a flowery scent. Upon tasting it, the fragrant smell is still (pleasantly) omnipresent and a fresh green aftertaste lingers in your mouth. Why use a mouthwash when you can drink this Tieguanyin? Slight astringency and buttery feel as it rolls on your tongue. Thirst-quenching tea, an ode to freshness.🧀Paired with the Gorgonzola: the Tieguanyin tones down the saltiness of the cheese by a lot! The cheese enhances the flowery profile of the tea and made me pinpoint that fragrance as "jasmine" whereas when I tried the tea by itself, I could only think of "generic white flowers". The TGY's astringency also accentuates the creaminess of the Gorgonzola. Nice complementary pairing! Fenhuang Dancong & l'Étivaz🍵Wow. It is as if a sentient passion fruit grabbed my nose when I smelled the leaves. After drinking the liquor, I couldn't find any roasted notes, only cooked exotic fruits with a bit of honey and a pleasant touch of tartness. The tea tasted sweet and I detected a geranium aroma. A bit more astringent than the TGY but still with a velvety mouth feel.🧀Paired with the Étivaz: a congruent combination! My cheesemonger mentioned this cheese had hints of pineapple so she believed it would pair harmoniously with the Fenhuang Dancong and she was right! I'm not saying you'll feel like eating a fruit salad tho haha! The pairing is very smooth, and the cheese adds the nutty notes that I thought were lacking in the tea. A nice waltz between the Étivaz' tanginess and the Fenhuang Dancong's flowery notes. Somehow, the cheese made the geranium aroma turn into roses. Yingde black tea & Brillat-Savarin🍵The dried leaves with golden tips were beautiful. They also smelled like fresh mushrooms. After tasting it, all I could think of was PETRICHOR. A nice Sunday afternoon walk through the forest in late October, when you have to watch your footsteps or you'd skid over a wet fallen leaf. With a dark chocolate bar in your pocket for a quick snack. The liquor was pleasantly acidic, mineral and had a woody, chocolatey, malty presence. I think I oversteeped it the first time though, because when I reached the bottom of the teapot it was way too bitter and tannic.🧀Paired with the Brillat-Savarin: ah, yes, my favorite cheese. A triple cream cheese, the "foie gras" of the cheese world. Fun story: as I was drinking this Yingde black tea, I instinctively wanted to add a creamer to it. When I asked the cheesemonger for a recommendation, I didn't want to influence her choice and only told her that this black tea tasted very mineral, mushrooms and petrichor. Deep down, I was hoping so much she'd recommend the Brillat-Savarin (try it if you can, the texture and taste will be carved in your memory), so, when she did, I cheered with joy! The mineral flavors of the tea enhanced the lacteal creaminess of this already super creamy cheese. The rind tasted like mushrooms so it had a nice dialogue with the woody side of this tea. And once more, the cheese made the flowery scent more palpable and softened the back tea's maltiness. Lapsang Souchong & Bonde de Gatine🍵I don't enjoy Lapsang Souchongs as they remind me of herbal medicine so I hoped this unsmoked version would suit me better. It still was too powerful to my taste. The tea had a very heady wood profile, felt sweet and had almost no astringency. At first, it vividly evoked me grapes or lychees, then this aroma mellowed down and turned into honey. It had a pleasant light bitterness but the more I drank, the less I could handle the heady perfume.🧀Paired with the Bonde de Gatine: as much as I didn't want to influence the cheesemonger's choice in the previous pairing, I asked for a strong salty cheese to mask the heady aroma of the Lapsang Souchong. She obliged by selecting this dry goat cheese. The combination worked wonders: the goatish flavors took over the pine notes. Maybe a bit too much but it allowed for the honey notes to come out at full force! It was like a goat frolicking in a bees farm! All in all, it was a very exciting, satisfying experience and I was delighted to combine two of my cultures in this tasting atelier. The teas enhanced the creaminess and milky flavors of the cheeses, while the cheeses highlighted the vegetal profiles of the teas. I hope you enjoyed reading my thoughts as much I enjoyed discovering the teas and cheeses!Thanks again to iTeaworld for enriching my tea journey!

Review by lesenoriteblog, Read the original blog here.  Marca: iteaworld Línea: Oolong Tea Selection Origen: Shenzhen, China Web: https://iteaworld.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/itea_world/ ¡Buen día, Tealovers! Ya de regreso con las reseñas y si eres tan fan del té oolong como yo, ¡seguro disfrutarás mucho esta! Hace poco tuve el placer de descubrir esta marca y debo admitir que me ha sorprendido gratamente. Les comparto mi experiencia. ¿Quién es iTeaWorld? Hace poco, me contactaron para presentarme sus productos y quiero compartirles mi experiencia. Para ponerlos en contexto: iTeaWorld es una empresa de té chino y una plataforma dedicada a los amantes del té. Su enfoque es enseñarnos de manera amena y entretenida cómo degustar el té en hebra. Además de ser expertos en té, también son productores. En sus plantaciones, encontrarás una variedad de árboles de alta montaña, árboles antiguos, silvestres y modernos, entre otros. Además, se preocupan por la naturaleza. Su compromiso con la sostenibilidad y la conservación ambiental es evidente en su trabajo y esfuerzos para proteger el medio ambiente. Más adelante cuento sobre eso. Son la puerta de entrada al fascinante universo del té chino, con un enfoque en el aprendizaje y la pasión por el sabor. Sobre Oolong Tea Selection Oolong Tea Selection：Dentro de su variedad de productos, encontramos la que yo elegí, que es una caja de sámpler (perfectas para regalar además) con una variedad de 4 tipos de té oolong con diferentes niveles de oxidación. Estos tés vienen en forma de hebras sueltas, lo que permite disfrutarlos y prepararlos de la manera que más te guste. Envases de té individual Personalmente, opté por prepararlos en un Gaiwan para vivir la experiencia completa. Hebras ya infusionadas Hablemos de Fenghuang Dancong Fenghuang Dancong: Este oolong tiene sus raíces en Wudong village, en la ciudad de Chaozhou, Guangdong. Proveniente de árboles silvestres y antiguos. Hablemos de  Dahongpao Dahongpao: Originario de las montañas Wuyi en Fujian, este oolong proviene de jardines modernos de alta montaña. Este té es de aroma dulce y herbal, me recuerda mucho al eucalipto, la hebra es de tono oscuro por su oxidación y una vez infusionado aparece ese aroma a tostado, pareciera que estás tomando un té negro por su oscuridad. No es de mis favoritos. Hablemos de Minnan Narcissus Minnan Narcissus: Procedente de los campos de Gongguan en Yongchun, Fujian, este oolong se cultiva en jardines modernos en las alturas. Es de aroma frutal y dulce, una vez infusionado se vuelve levemente ahumado y astringente, es de un sabor suave, pero tiene mucho cuerpo. Hablemos de Tie Guanyin Tie Guanyin: Proveniente de los terrenos de Gande en Anxi, Fujian, este oolong proviene de jardines modernos en las alturas y se ha convertido en mi absoluto favorito.   Sus hebras son de un verde intenso y muy arrepolladas, completamente diferentes al resto, sueltan un aroma muy herbal.  En infusión es delicado, refrescante, ligero y muy herbal. Mi estilo de oolong. Su Packaging ¿Hablemos de empaques que combinan belleza y funcionalidad? Porque este me encanto. Además de ser respetuoso con el medio ambiente, utilizando papel certificado por el Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) y tintas a base de soja, su diseño es hermoso, delicado y elegante. Cada té viene listo para preparar y muy bien sellado para que nada se escape y la caja tiene un sistema de cerrado muy original. Trae la información precisa y útil que necesitamos tanto para la preparación del té como para conocer más sobre el producto y la empresa. *Desde la web, iTeaworld nos invita a preparar los tés en Gaiwan con estas instrucciones: Utilizando 3 a 5 g de té en hebra, en agua caliente filtrada entre 90 a 100 °C, en un tiempo de infusión de 15 segundos. Con un máximo de hasta 7 infusiones por té.   ¿Los recomiendo?

Review by teafancier.com Read the original Reddit post here  iTeaworld – Black Tea Selection   As I’m sure I’ve mentioned before, we love a bit of free tea here at Tea Fancier Towers. And when iTeaworld got in touch to ask if they could send me some tea, I leapt on their offer. They offered to send me one big ol’ box of any tea of my choosing and selection boxes of black and oolong tea. And here’s where I – in my haste – made a bit of a miscalculation. For my main box, I asked for Wild Souchong tea which, as anyone who knows me well enough to know that I hate Lapsang Souchong will appreciate, was an odd choice.     The thing is, you do get unsmoked souchong teas. They don’t grow like that. And for some reason, I thought it was one of those. Also, I was seduced by the romanticism of tea leaves from wild trees. Because rather than the neat, tidy tea bushes most favoured by plantationeers, Wild Souchong comes from huge, old tea trees in the Guangxi mountains. As iTeaworld’s website says, “Tea from wild tea trees has an unruly wild characteristic”, and goshdammit, I really liked the idea of some unruliness in my teacup. But it’s smoked. And, so, as much as it pains me to say so, and even though I can see that this is clearly a high-quality batch of tea leaves, this tea is not for me. Nor was the Lapsang Souchong, which came in the selection box. I will endeavour to rehome both teas so they can be with someone who loves them in ways I can’t. But, tea friends, let us move swiftly on and talk of happier things like the absolutely bloody amazing Yunnan and Yingde black teas, which iTeaworld also included in the chinese black tea selection box.   Yunnan Black Tea Yunnan Black Tea: This is a marvellous sweetish dark blend that makes me want to employ words like honeyed and caramel when describing it. It’s brisk, though. It might lure you in with its seductive smoothness, but then it will slap you round the chops to remind you that you’ve had a substantial cup of tea that is not mucking about. It’s top-quality stuff. In fact, it reminds me of the blends that Curious Tea sell. It’s a seriously good large-leaved single estate lovingly-produced black tea blend that tastes so beautifully and absolutely of tea that I wish it could somehow be an immersive full-body experience. (I don’t want to bathe in the tea, you understand. And want, in some way, to become the tea.)   Yingde Black Tea And if you thought me talking about iTeaworld’s Yunnan was some overexcited fangirling, well, whoa, hold tight because I am about to get even more effusive. Yingde black tea is even better than Yunnan in ways that I am not tea-experty enough to articulate. It has a fresh, flowery taste with an aroma that is quite rose-petal-y. (Although, as always, I feel the need to point out that what this tea primarily tastes of is tea. And jolly good tea at that.)   And the dried leaves are beautiful, long, twisty, twirly works of art. Just look at these beauties! All of iTeaworld’s chinese black tea selection are comprised of satisfyingly whole leaves, which makes me feel connected to the plants that produced them in a way that I don’t with your more chopped-up processed tea. (I said I was going to get even more effusive with this one but, as it turns out, I can’t actually think of a way to top “I want to become the tea” in terms of hyperbole.) The only thing that could possibly mar my enjoyment of this magnificent brew is the nagging voice telling me that this was the tea I should have chosen as my main tea rather than Wild Souchong. Not that I’m complaining. I got to try some amazingly good teas for absolutely nothing. And I have drunk an insane amount of high-quality tea over the last couple of hours so I’m high as a kite. And I still have an Oolong selection box to work my way through! I’m a very lucky Tea Fancier.

Tea and biscuit pairingWhat biscuits go well with oolong tea?In this review, Alicia B paired the iTeaworld oolong tea with the corresponding biscuitsHave a sip of tea and a bite of biscuit. enjoy life quietly

I have no affiliation with this vendor, these are my own subjective tasting notes. I appreciated the opportunity to taste these samples and see what they have to offer. These are all very nice teas and I enjoyed the opportunity to taste them.

First of all, I was very pleased that these teas were generally a noticeable step above your average specialty tea store. A few of the teas were solid but mundane, but most of them were clearly of a higher quality and a few were real surprises.
