Drinking a mini this morning at work. I’m not sure if I have another of these minis. It came with some others in one of the White2Tea club boxes.
2 rinses, boiling water, rest
steeps 1-2: 20sec, sweet & earthy, juicy, significant sweet aftertaste
st 3: more woody
I lost track of the steeps while I was working. Am I on 10? Consistent, sweet, earthy, and woody. Smooth and juicy, red fruit? Enjoyable.
Flavors: Earthy, Fruity, Juicy, Red Fruits, Sweet, Woody
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My cupboard is completely out of date.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.

The name of this tea was so strange, it caught my attention. What a fascinating vendor, I might have to look into this one.
