Appearance- silvery green twisty leaves. Smell malt and hay, fresh. This year’s tea. 2tsp, 8oz, westren. Lazy today.
Taste- green, fruity with citrus finish. Got fruitier as it cooled. Fruit lingered in aftertaste. Subtle. If I hadn’t been paying attention I’d have lost the flavor. Coating and thick. Flavor fairly consistent throughout all 5 steepings. Enjoyed this tea a lot. 89
I’ll be interested to see what comes out of brewing gong fu. Going to cold brew spent leaves now.

Flavors: Citrus, Fruity, Green, Hay, Malt, Thick

Bio

I started my tea journey with Stash/Celestial Seasonings tea bags years ago. All loose leaf, unless I’m sick or traveling.

I like black, oolong, white, herbals, and raw/ripe pu’erh. I don’t drink green tea often.

I play video games, read, and do pottery. My current favorite tea mug is one I threw and glazed.

I generally review teas twice – initial and final steeps.

My cupboard is completely out of date. I have a spreadsheet (it’s current!!!) that’s over 300 teas. Pretty equal amounts of black, white, oolong, raw, & ripe with a little bit of green/herbal.

Ratings
85-100 are teas that I loved and want to keep in stock.
71-84 are teas that are good. I may or may not get them again. Source for daily drinkers/work teas.
60-70 are teas that I didn’t like. I’ll finish what I bought.
Anything less than 60…nope.
