Wasn’t a huge fan of this first go-round, which is unexpected. Flavors seemed that they’d be right up my alley, but it had an odd sweetness to it which was almost unpleasant.

I think I just didn’t use enough leaf last time, so the flavors were a bit odd. Used 5g this time, and it was much better. Very sweet hay and earthy flavors on most steeps. Some of the later ones had a kind of “fluffy” sweetness which immediately brought to mind marshmallows. Pretty tasty, but not the easiest to drink, as it’s almost sickly sweet at times. Wouldn’t be an everyday tea for me, both due to taste and price, but a fun and pleasant deviation from the norm.

Flavors: Earth, Hay, Honey, Marshmallow, Sweet

Bio

A bit about myself: 22 years old, college grad (Double major in Anthropology and History). I plan to make a career of archaeology and hopefully travel (much of) the world in my days.

I enjoy many things aside from tea, including gaming, mixing cocktails, reading, watching anime, and painting miniatures.

My favorite type of tea is sheng puerh. Particularly younger stuff, if only because I haven’t gotten the chance to taste much of anything aged. I also really like oolong (Taiwanese, Wuyi, Dancong, etc.) and Japanese Green Teas. I do also enjoy most other kinds of tea, but they aren’t what I normally buy. I’m not a huge fan of shou puerh, black tea, or flavored blends, with few exceptions.

I really like interacting with the tea community, so if you ever want to talk or swap teas or anything, feel free to shoot me a message or something. Follow me and I’ll follow you back. Probably ;)
