Good morning! I’ve been meaning to get to this and today seemed like a good day. The small little pebbles carry a woody scent. I brewed these up western in my tetsubin. The brew is thick and aromatic. The flavor is unique. This brew has a toasty flavor like hoijicha, but its mixed with an assam malt. Lastly, it finishes with a heady sweetness. This helped a lot in waking me up. I feel ready to take on the day. Happy Friday as well!

Bio

Young and experienced Tea consumer. I’m continuously learning and developing knowledge about tea. If I have learned anything at all from the world of tea it is that I do not know anything about the world of tea. I enjoy good tea, and I try to acquire the best of the best. I usually brew gongfu but I’ve been known from time to time to resort back to western brewing.

I have an Instagram (haveteawilltravel), and I am proud of my photographs. I use my pictures in my reviews,and I hope that they aid in portraying the beauty of tea and teaware.

Tea Rating System:
I rate my teas based on the category they fall into (Puer, Red, Oolong, Darjeeing, Flushes, Yancha… etc.)
This means that I will rate a Oolong based on how it stands up as a quality Oolong. I try not to compare teas, rather I work to evaluate them on their craftsmanship, harvest, processing, and qi.

I am most strict with Shou and Sheng Puerh, only because of the vast expanse of various experiences, such as; region, vintage, production, processing, etc.
