Sipdown – I’ve had this tea for a while and you can tell. It’s still malty and honey tasting, but muted. Also there’s a charcoal note that I can taste that I don’t like as much as I used to. I do remember really liking this tea. Now, it’s a little faded and the charcoal roasting a little prominent for me. The old rating is 89. As it is now, I would give it a 78.
I’ve fallen out of love with oolongs and I need to work on drinking down many of my older teas. Another consequence of ordering too much tea several years ago.
Flavors: Charcoal, Honey, Malt
It did prompt me to order from What-Cha today. I didn’t pick up any oolongs though!
