é??ç¸?oose Leaf Tea Bags

Foojoy is best known for its inexpensive tea bags, which, in my opinion, offer surprising quality for a very low price. But this company also carries two lines of highquality looseleaf tea, one of which is topnotch and likely to please <a href="http://www.photo2video.co.uk/hollisteruk/">hollister uk store</a> connoisseurs.

The company focuses on Chinese teas. Below I give my reviews of my favorite Foojoy teas, focusing mostly on their tea bags but also reviewing one of their looseleaf offerings which I am particular fond of. If you want to read more reviews, or share reviews of your own, I encourage you to visit Foojoy on RateTea.

Foojoy is best known for their boxes of 100 green tea bagstheir bestselling product is their generic green tea, a blend of Chinese green teas of unnamed variety. This product, however, is more of a premium productit's a little pricier than their default green tea, but it is a named variety: dragon well, or long jing / lung ching.

This product can't compete with looseleaf dragon well, but for how cheap it is, it's remarkably good. I've seen these boxes for sale for around $11, which is about 11 cents per cup. I challenge you to find green that is this good at this price.

As of writing this, this tea is ranked in the 93rd percentile on RateTea, on a list that is dominated by looseleaf teas.

This is not the best Jasmine tea that I've had in tea bags, but it's certainly the best I've had at anywhere near this price. These big boxes of 100 tea bags are available for around $7, and I think they offer outstanding value.

The jasmine aroma is a little weaker than I'm used to, which may please some people, who can be overwhelmed by the perfumelike quality of jasmine. The base tea tastes a lot like a tods uk outlet low grade but relatively highquality and fresh pouchong or bao zhong tea, a mellow greenlike tea with a light oxidation.

I find this tea is giuseppe zanotti important to brew with water well below boiling; if the water is too hold, the tea scalds, leading to an unpleasant sourness and a harshtasting cup. When brewed properly, this tea is surprisingly sweet, with a pleasing, honeylike flavor.

The more popular of Foojoy's oolongs in tea bags in their Wuyi oolong tea, which achieved fad popularity as a weight loss product. There <a href="http://www.photo2video.co.uk/giuseppezanottisneakers/">giuseppe zanotti</a> is no evidence that Wuyi oolong is superior to other oolongs for weight loss or other health hollister uk store purposes.

I prefer the Royal Kuan Yin isabel marant tea from this company; it is produced in Anxi county, a region relatively near Wuyi.

I found this tea to be mellow and subtle, with a fruity aroma suggestive of raisins, apricot, chestnut, and honey. I like drinking this tea on its own, not with a meal. Although I <a href="http://www.madeelodesign.de/parajumpers/">parajumpers jacke</a> will always prefer looseleaf oolong to tea bags, this tea is not a bad choice if you're stuck using a tea bag. It can be a bit pricier than Foojoy's other tea bags, but it's still very cheap, costing around 15 cents a cup.

Although Foojoy is bestknown for their inexpensive tea bags, the company also sells looseleaf teas, including <a href="http://www.madeelodesign.de/isabelmarantsneaker/">isabel marant</a> a line of premium teas. This is one of these premium looseleaf teas.

This particular green tea is from Zhejiang province. It has a classic flavor profile of teas from this province: brisk, grassy, and quite complex in flavor.

Although this tea is not cheap (I picked it up for around $10 for a tin of only 100 grams), the quality is topnotch, and as parajumpers jacke the name suggests, the leaves of this tea are good for making three flavorful cups, so you get more bang for your buck than you might expect from the priceperweight alone.

Ti Kuan Yin (also spelled Tie Guan Yin), usually translated as Iron Goddess of Mercy, is an oolong tea originating in Anxi county of China's Fujian Province. This is a top grade of this oolong. Its name refers to a legend in which monkeys pick this teathe tea is not actually picked by monkeys.

I found this to be a mediumroast, mediumoxidation oolong which is very fullbodied and extremely complex in aroma. The brewed cup combines earthy and woody qualities with herbaceous and floral aromas as well.

This tea is not only versatile and easy to brew, but it stores very well. It is a topnotch example of its style, and <a href="http://www.photo2video.co.uk/todsshoes/">tods uk outlet</a> I'd take it over Teavana's Monkeypicked oolong any day. It is a pricey tea, but considerably cheaper than the tea of the similar name sold by Teavana.
