Teavivre

Another sipdown. I’d possible reorder this one again to check other harvests or to round out a cart.

slightly malty but a little drying. Decent enough tea for me to be happy with the purchase but not sure yet whether i’ll re-order.

Very nice! I got the 2022 harvest of this tea from my recent Teavivre order, and I don’t really drink scented teas at all, but I gave it a shot here, and it was a nice surprise. Great leaves with a good bud proportion but slightly broken. Rich, rich, extremely rich jasmine aroma both in the scent and in the cup, with a decently delicate liquor to go with it. Flavour is delicate yet potent with jasmine, texture is decent, smooth and slight juiciness. Character is decent enough, not a lot of steep variability but it’s okay. Finish & aftertaste is very decent, great jasmine aftertaste with a light airy finish to it. Cha-qi is non-existent, and steep longevity is decent, with the tea lasting up to steep 6-8.

Average to decent white. I got the 2022 harvest of this tea from my Teavivre order, and it isn’t really that great of a tea tbh. Beautiful plump buds with a nicely nuanced but weak aroma. The liquor is thick and the flavour is delicate but not nuanced enough. The texture is smooth but otherwise average, character is pretty unidimenesional, finish & aftertaste is average to decent, nice lingering hay note at the tail end. Cha-qi is almost unnoticeable and the steep longevity is decent, topping out at steep 8 and may go further if pushed.
