Backlog – 190F, 2min, 2tsp
Dry leaf – hay, grass, spice
Grape spicy/spice malt. Spice note is different – almost spicy/hot w/o actual heat.
Body fairly thick, nearly no aftertaste.
2 min – sort of like dry grape skin feeling of mouth coating. More grape, less spice, malt.
Not a combination I’d want to repurchase. Grape flavor kills it for me – one of my blindspots. Rest of it went to a good home – gave it relatives who like tea. Sipdown
Flavors: Grapes, Malt, Spices, Spicy
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My cupboard is completely out of date.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.
