Royal Phoenix Oolong from The Tao of Tea

The Final Sipdown: Day 5
Decupboarding Total: 8

I have raised my personal decupboarding total needed per day to two. Gambatte! (Sorry, reviewing Japanese in another window.) Anyhoo, this is number two for today. I really enjoyed having it yesterday so I thought I’d have it again. It’s still tasty but for some reason today I’m getting a bit more woodsy taste and a higher level of astringency. A little more fall-like and less grape-y than I was anticipating but still a tasty cup and it works well with today’s cooler temperature. A good ending to its time in my pantry.

I’ve decided to brave the slowness that is Steepster because I miss seeing all the good teas folks on here discover! Sometimes my notices for PMs and such have been questionable. Email me at your own risk at aug3zimm at gmail dot com.

1 – 10 – Bleck. Didn’t finish the cup.
11 – 25 – Drinkable. But don’t punish me by making me have it again.
26 – 40 – Meh. Most likely will see if the husband likes it iced.
41 – 60 – Okayish. Maybe one day I’ll kill off what I have in my pantry.
61 – 75 – Decent. I might pick some up if I needed tea.
76 – 85 – Nice. I’d probably buy but wouldn’t hunt it down.
86 – 100 – Yum! I will hunt down the vendor to get this tea!

Not that anyone but me particularly cares, but there it is.
