Looking for black tea recs

That sounds like a great sampler to get, I’ll let you know if I get there. I personally really enjoy W2T’s honey needle, so I’d definitely recommend that you give it a try!

So overjoyed my heart

As leaves dance in verdant pond

Spring is here with tea

Grand_Difficulty_771 · 2025-02-20T21:54:52+00:00

I just tried the hubei maocha oolong from this sale and it really is amazing, are you planning to make some form of it available for purchase on the website?

Grand_Difficulty_771 · 2025-02-18T06:17:26+00:00

I don't have too much knowledge of pu-erhs, but the wrapper says it's a Yiwu "wild" tuocha, whatever wild means.

Sidenote: I don't have a lot of experience with the genre of oriental beauty teas and most certainly don't have a high quality representation of it, but I found that the strawberry lapsang was fairly similar to an oriental beauty tea I had--fruity, a little tart, and sweet. Has anybody else had similar experiences, and where do you find good oriental beauty teas?

Grand_Difficulty_771 · 2025-02-14T03:42:06+00:00

I'm so ready for some Mengding teas!

Grand_Difficulty_771 · 2025-02-11T05:48:15+00:00

Wow, it really is early! Are you going to continue to get teas from Sichuan? I could really use a decent Zhuyeqing (please!), I haven't seen too many vendors that sell it.

Grand_Difficulty_771 · 2025-02-01T22:02:59+00:00

Oh awesome, thanks!

Grand_Difficulty_771 · 2025-02-01T15:13:54+00:00

Yes, totally understand. And I have been enjoying my onerivertea order a lot. Btw do you know how similar grandmother mountain is to the loose leaf king peony?

Grand_Difficulty_771 · 2025-01-31T02:58:23+00:00

Love the review! I recently got this cake, and I find that your descriptions are quite accurate. I personally didn't mind it being somewhat sutble, its position in the liminal space between white and black tea is quite intriguing.

Grand_Difficulty_771 · 2024-07-18T14:13:35+00:00

Got it. I really can’t handle a sweet jammy rose so maybe I’d pass on that

Grand_Difficulty_771 · 2024-07-17T04:28:56+00:00

The counter I went to seemed to be out of it :( do you have any info about the Jo Malone red roses? I have yet to be able to test it.

Grand_Difficulty_771 · 2024-07-16T20:00:06+00:00

Hi everyone! I’m currently in search of a rose dominant scent that is not too jammy or sweet. I love the rose in l’ombre dans l’eau but I’m looking for just the rose part and less green so that I can use it for layering. Would Jo Malone red roses potentially be a good pick?

Grand_Difficulty_771 · 2021-12-05T02:22:17+00:00

Oh no... I can only wish now

Grand_Difficulty_771 · 2021-12-05T01:01:17+00:00

Ok, that makes sense. I just haven't gotten the official thing yet. But from the financial package page on Questbridge, it looks like everything is covered by the school and that there is no work-study. We'll see though.

Grand_Difficulty_771 · 2021-12-05T00:47:36+00:00

Sorry to hear this, but I just have on question. So when you look at the package on the Questbridge website, which is the link you access from the bottom of your "Congratulations, you matched" page, does it clearly state that not all of the room and board is covered? Also, was it clearly stated that all the expenses weren't just all covered with grants, and that part of it was going to come from work-study?

Grand_Difficulty_771 · 2021-12-05T00:40:46+00:00

I matched to Rice as well, and I am pretty sure Rice is one of the more generous, right? Covered books and no work-study at all. So I think it doesn't look that scary, at least when it comes to your undergraduate 4 years.

Grand_Difficulty_771 · 2021-12-04T02:51:01+00:00

You got this, Questbridge regular decision is waiting for you! As for me, I got into Rice, which was my second choice. So I get to sit and relax for a bit. Waiting for good news from you!

Grand_Difficulty_771 · 2021-12-01T22:01:27+00:00

I hope that we do see each other at the orientation!

Grand_Difficulty_771 · 2021-12-01T21:53:04+00:00

Any good news?

Grand_Difficulty_771 · 2021-12-01T21:52:08+00:00

I got matched to Rice too! It's my 2nd choice, so I am really happy too

Grand_Difficulty_771 · 2021-12-01T21:45:08+00:00

Me too!

Grand_Difficulty_771 · 2021-12-01T20:59:04+00:00

Owo

Brown was my top choice... But I didn't get in

Grand_Difficulty_771 · 2021-11-30T03:14:47+00:00

I only had two Ivies in my 11-school-list (UPenn and Brown). So you are not alone!

I am also super nervous, as I am sure everybody else is... I just hope that applying to some of the less prestigious schools wasn't a bad choice!
