I’m going through what’s left of this tea. I can enjoy it but I don’t love it. I shames me a little bit because I love white teas and I feel like this is a good quality, I just love picking the buds with my hand and they feel like velvet buds, true to their name they have a shiny silver coat that briefly intensifies when water is added. After the water starts steeping them they get a vivid green color like a healthy vibrant green pine needle.

I’ve been cold steeping this tea lately and I love it this way. It is very hard to get to the point where it might be too strong in flavor, its very refreshing and has hints of nuttiness and sweetness. This is my ‘energy drink’ when at the gym. I won’t buy again anytime soon but it was enjoyable to try. If anyone wants to try it PM me and I’ll try to send you some.

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
