Had this tea again and was pleasantly reminded how good it is. This tea is very simple, dirt cheap and totally unfancy. Extremely reliable too: you can be absolutely lackadaisical about the water temperature, amount or steeping times: the result is always more or less the same. The taste is always simple, comforting and relaxing.

It is very much like interacting with an old man who is simple, at piece with himself, cordial, and full of unprepossessing life wisdom. I want to be like this tea when I am old.

I like to drink teas to recreate a specific mood, or just to take a break at work. The world of tea is so endless, patiently waiting for exploration and rewarding you in many ways big and small.

I am looking forward to years of playing with tea leaves, gaiwans, cups, and YouTube videos.

My ratings:

90 or more – a very good/excellent tea, I can see myself ordering it again.

80-89 – it is a good tea, I enjoyed it but not enough to reorder.

70-79 – an OK, drinkable tea but there are certainly much better options even in the same class/type.

60-69 – this tea has such major flaws that you have to force yourself to finish what you ordered.

<60 – truly horrible teas that must be avoided at all costs.
