Long, twisty leaves with light gold tips. Smells hay and sweet. 4g, 100ml gaiwan, 198F

10s- strong floral aroma, sugar snap pea, sweet, buttery, floral aftertaste. Floral taste is strong and distinct, but I couldn’t figure out what I’d liken it to.
20s- floral, little bit of green, pea. Though, it’s a black tea, it reminds me a good deal of a greener oolong based on flavor profile and way steeped leaves look.
30s- floral, dry at tip of tongue, green, vegetal
40s- floral, pretty dry. Enough that I backed off steep time for the last two steeps
20s – sweeter, less dry
20s- floral, but fading

Flavors: Butter, Drying, Floral, Green, Peas, Sweet, Vegetal

Bio

I started my tea journey with Stash/Celestial Seasonings tea bags years ago. All loose leaf, unless I’m sick or traveling.

I like black, oolong, white, herbals, and raw/ripe pu’erh. I don’t drink green tea often.

I play video games, read, and do pottery. My current favorite tea mug is one I threw and glazed.

I generally review teas twice – initial and final steeps.

My cupboard is completely out of date. I have a spreadsheet (it’s current!!!) that’s over 300 teas. Pretty equal amounts of black, white, oolong, raw, & ripe with a little bit of green/herbal.

Ratings
85-100 are teas that I loved and want to keep in stock.
71-84 are teas that are good. I may or may not get them again. Source for daily drinkers/work teas.
60-70 are teas that I didn’t like. I’ll finish what I bought.
Anything less than 60…nope.
