ITeaWorld – Stunning Classic Tea Collection Review

Tea Review: IteaWorld Classic Teas

I was introduced to I Tea World Teas online and was sent a selection of teas

The Classic Collection 

I should spend a moment talking about the packaging.  The tea comes in pre-measured packets, that are not tea bags, but bags of individual loose-leaf teas.  Each tea packet has instructions on making the teas using Kung Fu Method.  What a charming idea and gives novice tea drinkers a chance to widen their scope of tea and enjoy tea in a new manner. 

I brewed the teas both were, both conventional and Kung Fu.  I enjoyed both.  There is, however, something soothing about brewing tea Kung Fu. 

Also included in the package (btw, love love the closure and feel of the packaging) is a pamphlet to tell you all about the tea brand and a timeline of history.  There is more in-depth history on their website  and I suggest you go there and read about the beginnings of ITeaWorld. 

I love a happy ending! 

Now on to these teas: 

Da Hong Pao – light, fragrant, and pleasant with a taste of tobacco and licorice, semi-sweet

Fenghuang Dancong – Floral and sweet like honey.  I thought I had a lotus or jasmine tea at first. 

Minnan Narcissus – A dryer Oolong with more tannins and a lovely mouth feel 

Tie Guanyin – floral and refreshing, light, lovely color

Yunnan black tea – is probably my favorite, earthy, grounded, and tastes like a forest to me 🙂 

Yingde Black Tea – I think I went from light to darker..  darker brew (or I steeped it too long, looking forward to the 2nd steep!  Strong and dark

**  2nd steep – ah yes!  that’s the brew I desire.  smooth, mild yet with some body to it!

Wild Souchong Black Tea – OOO that smokey flavor.  Despite the scent and look of this brew, the flavor is smoky but mellow and mid-mild.  

Lapsang Souchong –  Floral / Sweet/ Smokey – lovely tea

What an amazing selection of teas and I loved them all, not one would I even pass on.

You are going to want to give this company a shot and if you do not like the classic collection there is also:

• Black Tea Collection 
  Oolong Tea Collection

Beyond that there are different ways to pick your teas:

• Category
• Planting Method
• Efficacy

Whatever way you choose, you should choose because these teas are delightful.  I’m thrilled to share them with you, I only wish we could have shared a cup of tea together.  My pick would be Yunnan.  It was my top favorite, but honestly, they were all great and some were even surprises, like the souchongs, I really did not expect them to be as mellow and delightful as they were.  Some of the souchongs I have had were over-smoked and too strong.  These were spot-on perfect!  Again, you have to try these teas and I hope you do!

What will be in your cup?  Let me know in the comments below, I’d love to hear from you!
