After reading the positive reviews for this tea, I just had to try it. GiggleGoddess was kind enough to share a sample with me. But oh gee, is it NOT the tea for me. I don’t know what dimension everyone else tastebuds are lingering in, but this tastes like noxious weeds and I dunno, sugar snap peas maybe? Whatever it is, it made me feel sick after two sips and I had to dump it. Fortunately, it had no bad aftertaste so I was able to overcome the queasy feeling quickly. Not every tea can be a winner. :)
This is You :-D

My Rating System
100 My happiness absolutely depends on it
95 Will definitely repurchase
85: Might repurchase (teas that depend on my mood)
75 Won’t repurchase (but I would drink it again if offered).
65: meh
45: I reluctantly finished a cup.
15: Couldn’t finish a cup.
I simplified my ratings to single numbers rather than ranges because I can’t precisely compare so many teas with a system more detailed than this.
An unrated tea is most often one that I recognize as having significant notable quality, but that does not suit me personally. Sometimes, I leave teas unrated for other reasons, such as I am undecided or I brewed it wrong, etc.
Note: Boiling temp. barely reaches 200 where I am (and a few times it sticks at 195, I assume due to unexplainable shifts in altitude or the position of the moon. . .aliens?. . .).
