Norbu Diamond Grade Tie Guan Yin Spring Harvest 2009

8.9/10  —  4 reviews
Teaviews Member: Katie Katie's review:
"It's like drinking lilac-infused butter, which is much better than one would think."

Teaviews Member: Lynn Lynn's review:
"The liquor was a pale peridot green and smelled fantastic. And I'm happy to say the flavor lived up to the promise, too. Delicate, mouth filling, stone fruit sweet, a little nutty, a little buttery, and very fragrant in the mouth. Breathing out through the nose between sips was a sensory pleasure. "

"A very high quality oolong. The taste was multi-layered, floral with a refreshing aftertaste."

Teaviews Member: Vanessa Vanessa's review:
"A decent Tie Guan Yin and one who's quality is quite good when compared to the cost, but I am not sure if the "diamond" grade was truly merited. "

Norbu Tea 2008 Yi Wu Mountain Bamboo Roasted Pu-Erh Tea

8.5/10  —  5 reviews
Teaviews Member: Jamie Jamie's review:
"Vaguely spicy and somewhat earthy, but in a fermented sort of way, with smokiness developing and pairing pleasantly with light astringency at the close. Quite interesting!"

Teaviews Member: Dan Dan's review:
"The differences between the early steepings and the final cup are rewarding and well worth exploring here. This makes a great tea to explore for a few hours, although for a seasoned Pu-Erh expert, it may be a bit tame."

Teaviews Member: Scott Scott's review:
"A tea that evolves over multiple brews, each one better than the next. Tastes like no other pu-erh I've had."

Teaviews Member: Lynn Lynn's review:
"The flavor was amazingly complex: at first bitter, but with a surprisingly sweet finish which once again reminded me of honey and musk. The sweet, thick fragrance rose from my throat into my nostrils and lingered there, like an oolong."

Teaviews Member: Troy Troy's review:
"A very approachable puerh for Oolong fans, puerh virgins, and tea newbies, but appreciable by pretty much anyone."

"An easy drinking Oolong with light floral undertones."

Teaviews Member: Lynn Lynn's review:
"The resulting liquor was a sunny golden yellow and nicely redolent of osmanthus blossoms. The flavor was silky smooth and sweet on the tongue, with a thick, mouth filling feel and a long sweet finish."

Teaviews Member: Vanessa Vanessa's review:
"Overall, this was a smooth-drinking, light-bodied, yet satisfying brew, but one I would not recommend for multiple brews. "

Norbu Tea 2007 White Bud Sheng Pu Erh

8.4/10  —  3 reviews
Teaviews Member: Laura Laura's review:
"I really like the fact that Norbu sells a number of their pu erh offerings in these 25 gram sample sizes and even offers a sampler of them. If you want to check this out, you could buy this in the sample size for just $2.75, which I think is a great deal."

Teaviews Member: Jamie Jamie's review:
"A second infusion is darker in color and sturdier in body with a taste that actually reminds me of a black tea. Certainly the flavor of this tea is not like that of your usual white tea. White buds done pu-erh style is well worthy of a sampling as soon as can be arranged!"

"A wonderful, sweet Pu-Erh that is surely an ideal gateway into the fantastic world of Pu-Erh teas."

Norbu Tea Taiwan Alishan High Mountain Oolong Spring Harvest 2009

8.3/10  —  2 reviews
Teaviews Member: Lynn Lynn's review:
"The large leaves of this oolong are tightly twisted into sizable dark green nuggets with lighter tones scattered throughout. The fragrance of the dry leaves is quite strong and very floral—a "High Mountain Aroma" that the website describes as "orchidy.""

Teaviews Member: Vanessa Vanessa's review:
"The flavor of this tea leans heavily on the floral side, and has a nice consistency to it, being smooth and fairly light."

7.9/10  —  5 reviews
Teaviews Member: Nicole Nicole's review:
"It had a thick and creamy mouth feeling but went down smoothly. The taste was pleasantly rich and complex."

Teaviews Member: Katie Katie's review:
"It is a relaxing snap back to becoming what resembles a functioning human being."

Teaviews Member: Lynn Lynn's review:
"The flavor was mildly bitter, definitely astringent, with only a hint of the malty sweetness I expect from a Yunnan. "

Teaviews Member: Troy Troy's review:
"A rich action packed black tea of yore."
Read review »		       9/10
Teaviews Member: Vanessa Vanessa's review:
"This tea features the characteristics I have come to expect from a good Yunnan: a nice peppery-like spiciness (although not too strong), a sweet maltiness, and perhaps just a hint of smokiness. "

Norbu Tea Black Gold Spring Harvest 09

7.6/10  —  4 reviews
Teaviews Member: Nicole Nicole's review:
"It was mild and sweet with a hint of spiciness, a straight forward black tea. Nothing fancy or extraordinary but sometimes that is a good thing."

"Really good, not great."

Teaviews Member: Dan Dan's review:
"An outrageously-good Dian Hong with a surprisingly funky element to it."
Read review »		       10/10
Teaviews Member: Lynn Lynn's review:
"The flavor, however, made up for the lack. It was malty, a touch spicy, astringent, with a touch of sweetness in the finish. A splash of half and half brought out the flavors and mellowed them together. "

Norbu Tea 2009 Lao Mansa Sheng Pu Erh Tea

6.9/10  —  3 reviews
Teaviews Member: Katie Katie's review:
"Probably a good candidate for ageing, and certainly not a bad cup when drunk young, either."

Teaviews Member: Lynn Lynn's review:
"Given the olfactory pleasures of this tea, I was surprised that I couldn't seem to wring a better flavor out of it."

Teaviews Member: Troy Troy's review:
"If you like Young Puerhs buy, if you like to age puerhs buy, if you like novelty shower curtains... may the gods have mercy on your wretched soul."
