536 tasting notes

Wow, compared to the tasting notes by others (and apparently myself) I’m not even tasting the same tea right now. Oh well! I don’t find it that good today. Tannic, but not that malty, with an odd flavor. It’s quite minerally. 197F Pseudo-westren style. Maybe I didn’t use enough tea or long enough steeps or it didn’t like the longer steeps. I don’t know.

I have enough for one more steep. Unless it blows me out of the water, I’m not purchasing more than this sample.

Flavors: Malt, Tannic

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My cupboard is completely out of date.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.
