326 Tasting Notes

The flavor is light and delicate. Making it prefect to drink multiple cups during the day (yay re-steeping!)
Also works well as an iced tea, but I prefer it hot.

This has a very strong flavor. If you’re unsure you like black currants, I highly recommend that you smell this tea in the store.
I usually “brew” it as iced tea. The fruity flavor comes out much better that way (IMO).

I can never get enough of this “tea”. My husband, who is not normally a fan of sweet drinks, also loves it.

Mixed in some Lapsang Souchong with the Golden Pu-erh today. The result was delicious.

Now that’s a blend I’ve never heard of…

I think the smokiness of the Lapsang Souchong compliments it very well.

Cofftea

Well I don’t like either, but yes I’m sure smoke and dirt pair well:)

First time trying this and really enjoying it. Very nice earthy flavor, but it does not overwhelm my senses.

Nice mellow tea to drink before bedtime. It even has a nice rosy color when you pour it into your cup.

Feel free to add me on Steepster, I’ll probably add you back. :)

I don’t log tea every time I drink it. Tasting notes tend to be about either one style of brewing or a new experience. It is helpful for me to look back on my notes and see what a tea tasted like or which steeping parameter worked best for me. I try to mostly short steep tea unless it only tastes better with a long steep. I’d rather experience what a tea tastes like over 3 or 12 steeps than just 1 to 3 long steeps.

When I write “tsp”, the measurement I use is a regular western teaspoon. Not a tea scoop

How I rate tea:

99-100: Teas that blow my mind! An unforgettable experience. Savoured to the last drop. I felt privileged to drink this.

90-98: Extraordinary, highly recommended, try it and you won’t be disappointed (and if you are, mail me the tea!)

85-89: Wonderful, couldn’t expect more but not a favourite.

80-84: Excellent, a treasured experience but not a favourite.

70-79: Good but could be better. Above average.

60-69: Average, unexceptional, not something I would buy again. Slightly disappointed. I’d rather drink water.

50-0: Varying degrees of sadness

No rating: Mixed feelings, can’t decide whether I like it or not, not enough experience with that sort of tea to rate it. A dramatic change of heart.
