Bio
I started my Steepster loose leaf adventure back in 2012. I can’t say I’m completely new anymore, but I still view oolong as a magical, extraterrestrial creature that unfurls in water.
My favourites are teas like Milk Oolong, Silver Needle,and Japanese Sencha/Gyokuro, or fruity and floral flavoured ones. However, I generally enjoy ALL the teas, including a good old cup of Earl Grey or Breakfast blend.

Subjective Rating System:
I don’t give a lot of low ratings out, since a) I tend to grab tea I know will appeal to me, and b) I don’t have a lot of strong dislikes.
90-100: Favourites. The Desert Island Teas.
80-89: Loved teas. Possibly staple-worthy.
70-79: Good teas, but I’m less likely to repurchase. Minor quibbles.
60-69: Ok teas. Likely a few preference and/or quality issues.
50-59: Cup of meh. Will do in a pinch.
11-49: Varying levels of undrinkable tea.
1-10: Nightmare tea from the chaos realms. This tea is the embodiment of the primordial swamp, an unholy abomination. It’s very gross and I’m almost positive it doesn’t exist.

How else would you have ended it? SPOILER ALERT. Would you have had a happy ending with him and Hannah? Until the next bad guy came along… Or maybe a Bonnie and Clyde thing going on? I know I was surprised but if you sit and think about it, it’s perfect. I wouldn’t have wanted him in jail.
I’m likely in the minority here, but I enjoyed the season up to the point when Hannah came back into the picture. I also felt some of the side character things should’ve been fleshed out more or not introduced at all as they didn’t add much for me (ex-Masuka’s daughter?). I’m not upset with the finale, I just wish there was more to it, if that makes sense.
Yah, I get that, sure. I could have watched a 3 hr finale where they put everything together. I’m gonna miss it.
I’m still trying to get over Rita dying, to be quite honest. The last season I watched was the doomsday killer season. I had tony record the episodes, & I’m sure eventually we’ll watch them (when it snows or something).
