California Tea House Silver Needle Tea - Time For Depends

California Tea House Silver NeedleDax: California Tea House seems to be hitting a key demographic of tea drinkers with their Silver Neede White Tea. Actually, before I get into this California Tea House review, big ups to those folks for their samples. Silver Needle tea is wholesome, and it's hard to find a better term. The white tea base, and all subsidiaries, are quite elderly to say the least. Ok I'll stop beating around the rooibos and just come out with it, it takes like a tea in its golden years. The Golden Girls probably sipped it on the air. I'm not saying the Silver Needle tea is bad, it just has that geezer in it. Extra points for the shimmering tea leaf presentation.

Rating: B

Mike: California Tea House Silver Needle White Tea is the kind of white tea that causes multiple impressions. I first steeped the beast and was a little confused. It didn't taste as fresh as it smelled or looked. I consulted my teasan Amigo Dax over his thought. Perhaps my white teasanability was giving out and I needed some Distinguished Teasan opinion.
2 teasans are better than one. Dax and I agreed that this California Tea House Tea tasted geriatric, like something you'd find being served at a nursing home. I come back an hour later and try this white tea brew cold. Totally different experience. A complete turnaround full of flavor and steepability. Give this California Tea House White tea a try just let it sit idle for a bit.

California Tea House Red Robe Tea - Guess the Leaf, Win Some Bomb Tea

California Tea House Red Robe Oolong TeaMike: California Tea House Big Red Robe Oolong tea has the smoothability factor equivalent to that of a baby's bottom. Just try it and you'll see. This oolong tea has a certain silky property to it I haven't tasted in any other oolong or any other tea either. The oolonginess is not overly strong but still present and the smokiness factor is there as well as if the tea was a little more roasted than most oolongs. California Tea House was kind enough to send us some samples of their teas and we're kind enough to give them the tea reviews they deserve. If you've tried this blend, let us know.

Rating: A

Dax: California Tea House, bring on more of this Red Robe Tea! Gifted and I were looking to take our teasan abilities to the pinnacle of Mount Achievement. California Tea House Big Red Robe is something of a mystery upon first site. No leaf categorization is identified on the label, but the palate let it be known that it is indeed an oolong tea; a great oolong tea at that. I was a fool to say that it was a black tea at first, but this was only due to its unique mesquiteability. Not many oolong teas can play these roles in the same act, yet this California Tea House review made the SAG proud.
