Mystery tea Number Five from Winter 2024 Ho Yum Tea Blind Tasting set. Another black tea, larger pick/sort than number three.

Mystery tea Number Four from Winter 2024 Ho Yum Tea Blind Tasting set. I was pretty sure this one was from India from the moment I opened the packet and smelled the dry tea. Don't know enough about Indian tea standards/regions to speculate beyond that.

Dry mystery tea leaves.

Mystery tea Number Three from Winter 2024 Ho Yum Tea Blind Tasting set. I'm gonna go out on the limb and say it is a Fujian Black Tea.

Mystery tea Number Two from Winter 2024 Blind Tasting set. Definitely oolong, but from where? What variety?

2022 Da Wang Feng Shi Ru (aka "Rock Milk") Rock Oolong from Ho Yum Tea has changed a lot since I last tried it this summer. Still has the fragrance I remember, but the mineral/rock aspect seems much stronger in the flavor. A great tea, but not a tea you would give to someone as their first rock oolong.

Spent tea leaves, aka Tasseography.
A bowl of rock oolong.
