Backlog. I really like having this tea shop in town. I’m willing to take a chance on teas because I want to support them.
I’m slowly getting more into green teas now that my palate has evolved more. And I’m buying better quality green teas.
Dry leaf smells of lavender, jasmine, and rose.

tastes of lavender, jasmine and green. The rose falls under general floralness of the tea. Also, kind of spicy.
Flavors: Jasmine, Lavender, Rose, 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My cupboard is completely out of date.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.
