This is my favourite tea ever!

I absolutely love the Osmanthus Oolong from Grass People Tree. The scent is out of this world and the taste is very refreshing. This will always be in my subscription box.

Poetry and pure Magic with Grasspeopletree

My first shipment from Grass People Tree has opened a new and magical portal for me into a beautiful world of the senses and poetry and art.
The tea, the label, the packaging each a poem. Thank you 🌷💗🙏🏼

Changing flavour profile is worth waiting for

The immediate grassy freshness of the first brew, transforms gradually - patience is your reward, as the barley milkiness of later infusions is very unexpected and quite a long way from the initial flavour - but well worth the effort of arriving at its mildly roasted, almost oat milk like taste profile.

Woodland warmth

Like a woodland walk on an autumn evening. The undercurrent of long-ripened fruit, nut brown leaves and stewed berries, all encased in a warming, comforting tea.
I found this tea more satisfying when using a high leaf to water ratio.

Roasted rock

Beautiful roasted aroma, rocky and slightly salty mouthfeel, and a long lasting flavour combining both.

Relaxing delicate yellow

This is my first yellow tea, and what a wonderful start! It's floral with a strong scent, soft, smooth and sweet. I've just sat outside in the winter sun and enjoyed the tea while birds were tweeting, and the warms rays let me dream about spring.
I definetly will reorder this! Thank you!

The perfect way to explore the teas! And SOOO SOOTHING & DELICIOUS!

Thank you Rui for creating the subscription box! I received my first shipment in November and absolutely fell in love with Master’s Qing Cha, which I probably would never have thought to order on my own. It is now my favorite drink to have in the mornings, especially during these brutal winter days.

The subscription has also given me the chance to test out which teas I’d like to place larger orders of and stock up on.

I don’t purchase any of my white / green / red teas any where else ! I’m totally hooked on Grass People Tree!

THANK YOU!

One of my favorite puers. Excellent taste and good qi.

Uplifting yet grounding

This tea invites us to give it all our attention. Drinking it brought to mind passionfruit/peach like sweetness. The smell is uplifting yet grounding at the same time.
Master’s Red has an energising quality without giving me the jitters (I’m quite sensitive to caffeine).
I genuinely think this must be the nicest cup of tea I’ve ever had 😌 Thank you GPT

Osmanthus Oolong

Unmatched quality, flavor

I've tried so many different teas available in the US. This one is just far beyond anything else I've tried in terms of quality and flavor. There's a certain sweet, floral, fresh quality that I haven't experienced in any other tea--not even in fine restaurants with loose leaf teas. In the way that wine enthusiasts talk about terroir, there's something special about this tea from this place that you won't find elsewhere. It's unique, and uniquely excellent. And honestly, it's a great value; you truly can rebrew the leaves several times and discover delicate, unfolding flavors each time.

Green Adventure!

Lovely tea- just gorgeous! When smelling the rinsed leaf I almost took it for medium roast oolong, but of course the beautiful minty-white liquor gave it away. Widely accessible, but I highly recommend to anyone looking for a green tea adventure!

A daily companion

A very compact and small companion - it follows me everywhere - up into the high mountains or onto the lake. I fits in every bag I have and gives me the enjoyment of a proper tea in the middle of nowhere. I like the simple design and the good quality of the porcelain.

Perfect in design and function

This Glass Gong Dao Bei is my absolut favorite. It has a clear and clean pour and is balanced very well. The light weight feels good in your hand and the spout controls every drop. I can highly recommend this!

What green tea dreams are made of

I’ve always been sensitive to caffeine which is why I’ve preferred tea over coffee but as I’ve gotten older sometimes even tea puts me out. I can drink this all day long and I feel amazing! Not to mention the quality and flavor of this tea beats out any other tea I’ve had. I’m a big fan of masters green because I’d the floral non bitter taste by the wild green tai has that grassy green flavor im used.

Aged Master's White

Rock Flavor Aged White Tea

This aged white tea reveals itself strongest during later steeps with longer steep times. Like Master's Oolong Classic, I intentionally forget a steep and come back to it, well over a minute later, to see what's come out. Before the tea really opens up, there are clues to what will happen later: the wet leaves have a caramelized smell that reminds me of a hong cha and the other aged white tea I'm drinking. That comes to the tongue around steep #7 or #8. Present the whole time, and growing stronger, are the Pu'er like camphor notes and a minerality I did not expect. I don't have experience with yancha yet but I imagine it will taste a lot like this. By steep #15 or so, the minerality has come to dominate the tea in a way that makes it unique. The camphor and caramel remain in the back. I brewed this tea in a porcelain gaiwan and will be interested in how it will infuse in a zini teapot that is currently traveling through the mail. Last of all, the cha qi of the tea hits before the flavors and becomes more noticeable with further strength. It results in a cooling body sensation concentrated in the neck and upper back and a settled, yet energetic feeling. This is in contrast to the body sensation of the 2001 Mu Dan I am also drinking which concentrates in the face and makes me want to sing rather than hum. I plan to buy more of this tea but currently have enough to chew on for a while.

Master's Oolong Classic

An Oolong of a Different Feather

A caveat for this review: when I started brewing Master's Oolong Classic, my kettle was set for 205 F/ 96 C which may have an effect on my experience. I subsequently heated the water further to 212 F/ 100 C.

Right now, I have three TGY variants and a High Mountain Taiwanese Oolong in my rotation. Yesterday, this tea joined them. Because my taste is so attuned to the flavors of those two related groups of tea, I was in for a big surprise when I tasted Master's Oolong Classic. There is a bit of what I expect from the other teas: high floral notes and the interplay of green and oxidized notes. There's also the minerality that I tasted in Taiwanese Gaoshan oolong. However, there is more. A camphor taste, not unlike Pu'er, grows with each infusion as well as a sweetness that overcomes the nuttiness of the liquor. The increasingly strong camphor taste was shared with Master's 7 Year White, the other tea I ordered. Another thing they shared is that the tea, aside from minerality, moderate floral notes, and nuttiness, did not reveal itself until Infusion #7 and came out like a tiger. The full floral character of the tea was bold and complicated, indisputable sweetness floated in with the velvety mouth feel, and the mint/ anise/ camphor background note made itself very well known. I'd also say that this tea, and Master's 7 Year White do not only withstand forgotten brews but reward them. Maybe the leaf material is so robust that it requires time to release all of its aromatic compounds. What this presents as is that a flash brew at Infusion #11 will be sweeter and more complex than Infusion #2. However, none of them hold a candle to 1 minute or more brewing in the upper infusions. I bought only 8 grams of Master's Oolong Classic (out of which I can get two infusions) and so will look forward to buying more in the future to grow an acquaintance with this tea.

Opportunity to ground yourself

I haven't had many opportunities to attend meditation that combines tea. Although I use tea to practice mindfulness, I found Rui's practice useful; to meditate first - calm the mind, and patiently wait to drink tea - I thought this actually enhanced the flavors by the time of the first sip! Thank you for hosting this.

All-time favourite red tea

Great teas call for few words. There just isn't much I can say to do this tea justice. It's delicious, comforting and sweet. It inspires a sense of mature insight and ease, like an ancient wise friend who's truly seen it all and knows deeply that it really will all be ok.

Like Master's red tropical notes, when I brew this tea in my zisha pot, Red Tai's freshly light roasted coffee notes and slated caramel aroma aroma stays for days, complementing whatever teas I have after.

Peaches and Apple Cider

This tea has a bold, distinct character that I find quite enjoyable.

Love it, wonderful tea 🫖
