Another tea that I didn’t expect to like. I am not on team leaf-hopper :p
But sometimes I worry that I’ll miss out on an exception if I don’t try some of the teas that I expect not to like.
Anyway, nothing wring with this tea at all, I just don’t like the honey notes (and I insist, as always that they taste more like mushrooms than honey). It’s a 75 for me.

mine are is in a very special league of its own. I don’t see a single rating for this tea below 90. I’ve joked before that I am the lone dissenter on the trendy teas. I feel so unique. yay me!
Funny! I’ve become obsessed with those little bugs and their teas! To me they add a sweet honey and pumpkin spice flavor. Not mushroom at all. But when I have golden fleece or yu lu yan cha, all I can taste is mushrooms and I don’t enjoy them I can’t get passed it. So I hear you, when things (other than mushrooms) taste like mushrooms, it’s no good at all :-)
I wasn’t crazy about this tea either and am also squarely not on Team Leafhopper – I don’t get mushroom with these kinds of teas; it’s just that I don’t love honey all that much. This seems to be somewhat of an anomaly, at least here on Steepster, but I’m at peace with my apparently offbeat tastes ; )
It sure is funny how all our palates differ! :)

ah, I take that back, there are a few lower ratings for this tea. I feel not so alone. yay :)
