Good morning Steepster. I hope everyone has had a nice Christmas!

I think I need to try severely limiting my time here, getting sick of the constant negativity of the site not working and the old timers complaining about it. Not that people don’t have the right to complain but it seems totally futile. It’s probably a good idea anyway because I don’t need reasons to discover any new teas I might want to buy. :)

So this is a sample I got from Lupicia in the latest newsletter. I am a bit sniffly with allergies this morning and thought a green might be nice. This is reminiscent of Den’s super green, it’s a genmaicha with matcha mixed in. This is a nice mesh tea bag, the flavor is brothy/nutty with a seaweed flavor and sweetness from the matcha. It’s definitely tasty, I might save the teabag and go in from a re-steep soon.

Don’t go! I enjoy reading your tea notes. :) The site has been very negative lately, but I’m hoping now that Jason has explained his situation that it’ll calm down some. Maybe?

Ya, don’t leave us! I have also been bothered by the negativity…but I agree with Veronica and I’m hoping it will get better. The site still mostly works. Maybe it’s best to not read some of the discussion threads for now. ;)

I tend to stay away from the discussion board and that steers me clear of most of the negativity. I mostly come on here to make and read tasting notes or to sign up for a traveling box now and then.

TeaBrat

okay thanks all :)

I like your notes! Don’t leave! D: People already don’t post many tasting notes!

I like your notes too. I haven’t seen much grumbling, but I don’t go on the forums.

I just got here a couple of months ago and as a newbie I very rarely read anything on the discussion board and focus my time reading tasting notes instead. Please consider sticking around. I enjoy reading your tasting notes. Remember, for every negative person, there is a positive person!

Bio

My profile pic is of a pink dahlia at Golden Gate Park.

Hobbies include: tea, making art, animals, vegan things, buddhism, nature, creativity, books, writing, cooking, meditation, yoga.

I am a fan of many different teas but my favorites are blacks and oolongs, chai, also like darjeeling and pu-erh. I’n always learning and expanding my horizons!

Dislikes include: bergamot, jasmine, highly tannic or bitter teas, overly judgmental and bitter people. :)

Live in San Francisco, I’m a SINK (single income, no kids) and love the urban life, but traveling out to the middle of nowhere is always fun too.

I tend to not drink things I know I will hate so a lot of my tea ratings are on the higher side. Here’s my rating system, sorta

95-100 I love this tea and would like to keep it around

94-90 An excellent tea which I may or may not repurchase

89-80 Pretty good, above average

79-70 Acceptable

69-60 Mundane – Will probably drink it if I have it

59-50 Ick

49 and below Nasty
