90

I should have ordered a LOT more of this tea. It was the first bag I opened when the package arrived and I told myself “I’ll try this one first and later…” I almost went through the bag before I moved on. The leaves smell like sugar and hints of chocolate, when steeped it inverts into chocolate scent with hints of chocolate, Tea continues to riddle me. The taste is very malty with glorious chocolate taste and hints of sugar.

This tea is the one that made me glad I got a portable brewer. Takes several steeps and its very forgiving, EVEN COLD BREWED is amazing!!!! (Gong fu style or western it rocks).

I’ve been drinking tea for about 8-10 years now, but Puerh for about 7-8 years. I love learning and I love the people who ae passionate about it. This is a constant learning field and I love that too. I’m mostly in to Puerh, Black tea and Oolongs but I do enjoy other types from time to time.

I’m adding the scale because I noted that we all use the same system but it doesn’t mean the same to all.(I rate the tea not by how much I ‘like it’ only; there are flavors/scents I don’t like but they are quality and are how they are supposed to be and I rate them as such).

90 – 100: AMAZING. This the tea I feel you should drop whatever you are doing and just enjoy.

80-89: Great tea that I would recommend because they are above ‘average’ tea, they usually posses that ‘something’ extra that separates them from the rest.

70-79: An OK tea, still good quality, taste and smell. For me usually the tea that I have at work for everyday use but I can still appreciate and get me going through my day.

60-69: Average nothing special and quality is not high. The tea you make and don’t worry about the EXACT time of steep because you just want tea.

30-59: The tea you should probably avoid, the tea that you can mostly use for iced tea and ‘hide’ what you don’t like.

1-29: Caveat emptor! I feel sorry for my enemies when they drink this tea. :P
