Welcome to My Journey on the Way of Tea

-

Hello & Greetings!

Thank you for visiting my little part of the internet, where I try to document my journey on the path of tea (aka Cha Dao). I've been drinking tea since I was a child, but only recently started exploring cha dao as method of focus, meditation, and just enjoyment of tea.

This blog has various tea tastings entries of the teas I've tried over the years (which is more than some, less than others), anecdotes of my tea journey, and what I've discovered along the way.

My tea tastes have changed over time as I have become more aware of what I'm drinking and how I drink it. I've cataloged some of my tea logs from various other places (such as Steepster and posts on various social media) so I can have a chronological record of how things have changed over time in a single location.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why the blogger URL Jade Oolong?

Because my name is Jade and my favorite tea is oolong. It has nothing to do with the actual jade oolong tea. Also, it was hard enough trying to come up with a meaningful Blogger URL as many are already taken

Why the title Tea with the Black Dragon?

Because wulong / oolong (simplified Chinese: 乌龙; traditional Chinese: 烏龍 ), loosely translates to black dragon from Chinese, and it also happens to be one of my favorite books.  I also tend to drink a LOT of oolong teas, so many tastings will be of various oolongs.

DISCLAIMER: This blog has no affiliation with the book, Tea with the Black Dragon by R.A MacAvoy, which I love dearly. I am not infringing on her copyright, as book titles can't be copyrighted, but they can be trademarked. And insofar to my knowledge, the author has not trademarked this book title.

Tea Session: Emperor's Yellow Tea

For the tea of the day, we have Emperor’s Yellow Tea from Yunnan Sourcing. From Yunnan Sourcing We are proud to offer a Certified Organic YellowTea from Yunnan. This tea was grown in the area of Simao and was harvested in April 2017. This is a "Pure Bud" Yellow Tea (单芽黄茶) made from a 50/50 blend Yunkang #10, and Xue Ya #100 varietals growing at and altitude 1300 meters (4300 feet) on the southern slope Ma Wei Mountain (just west of Pu'Er City). Fresh leaves from both varietals are picked and blended together before processing. The blend of the two varietals gives a balanced complex taste and increases the number of steeps that the tea can be brewed. The processing is similar to black tea with sun withering, rolling, oxidization, and finally drying. The main difference between the Yellow tea and Black tea processing done by our organic tea growers is the sun withering stage and the oxidization stage are quite a bit shorter for the Yellow tea. You will notice the dry

Goodbye Tea, Long Live the Tea: 2006 Da Hong Pao

Tea is like wine. A particular type of tea changes year-to-year, even if grown by the same farmer on the same plantation & roasted by the same person. Environmental factors (such as rain fall) and terroir play a factor, not to mention how the roaster might have felt that day. Then there's the aging factor. Over time (especially with roasted & fermented teas), the flavor profile starts to shift. Sufficed to say, tea is never the same from session to session even if all of your brewing variables are the same.  If one thing is constant, tea always changes. This is a 2006 harvested Da Hong Pao (DHP) that I purchased 2 years ago. It's a very fine specimen of DHP that I've had the pleasure of drinking. I've carefully stored it in the time I've owned it, and it's just gotten better with age.  It's with great sadness that I've now come to the absolute last of this particular tea. I've tried to drink smaller amounts in smaller teaware, but I can't

Tea Tasting: 2021 Tai Ping Hou Kiu

I absolutely love getting tea boxes in the mail. There's an element of surprise and delight in seeing what's sent.  This tea is from Old Ways Tea's subscription box. The box arrives every two months, and what's nice about this box is that it includes tea that she normally doesn't carry in her store. She goes out of the way to include teas from family, friends, and family friends from Wuyi to include in the box. I'm particularly fond of this subscription box, because she sources all her teas from her home region, which predominately includes oolongs, which are a favorite. The tea box included: Tai Ping Hou Kiu (50g). Yu Qilin (40g), and Shui Xian (48g).  Tea Information Type: Chinese Green Vendor: Old Ways Tea Recommendations: She recommends " grandpa style " brewing --> 3 grams in a cup of water 90C (194F). Let steep for 2 minutes. Drink 2/3, then refill. If you want thicker soup, use boiling water. Cost per gram: N/A since this is part of a
