this is Jun Shan Yin Zhen, a yellow tea from the Hunan Province. yellow tea is between white and green, it's basically a more oxidized white tea. it tastes a bit sweeter than a white but is still closer to a white than a green.

this is genmaicha (玄米茶), or "puffed rice tea", a Japanese green. it's basically watered down sencha, but i'm convinced it smells like seaweed (not in a bad way). it's a way to enjoy the flavor of a high quality green tea without having to pay too much.

this genmaicha is Obukucha, a seasonal tea for the new year in Japan. it has an emphasis on higher quality leaves, meaning its closer to sencha than a cheap genmaicha. i think Obukucha can only be bought in stores, but its a really solid tea
this is kukicha (茎茶), or "twig tea", which is made up of the other parts of plants used to make sencha/gyokuro like twigs, stems, and stalks. though its smell may suggest that its a lighter sencha, its a grassy tea. the flavor is odd but quite refreshing
this is "yunnan golden buds", a type of Dian Hong (Yunnan Red) from the Yunnan province. it is a black [red] tea that has a sort of honey-like sweetness to it. honestly i didn't really appreciate black tea until i had this one
Lapsang Souchong, a pinewood roasted black tea. it has a strong fragrance of campfire and mulch. it tastes like a lighter, more nuanced form of the smell with stronger notes of pine. honestly i'm not a big fan, i'd far prefer a kyobancha. too much pine.
