5.4/90/boiling

dry: BBQ, sweet
wet: vegetal, mint, smoke, barnyard, shoe polish

1. smoke, bright. pepper-like as well as candy-like sweetness in the aftertaste. settling and sedative
2. bitter, woody, polish. bitterness has a texture to it. Floral note in finish. lingering in breath.
3. something banana like, carrot, and spice.
4. strongly bitter. polish. floral in finish
5. medicinal. tastes like XG Jiaji

I think I stopped here since I had something to go to. It was ok I suppose, ignoring price. It was over a month ago, and I don’t remember anything else about it eliciting strong feelings either way. No idea what the current price is, but I paid $2/g for my sample some years back.

Just a chronicle of a stranger’s tea journey. Keeping old notes up to see progression, but no longer really believe in all of them. Trying to learn!! Weekend warrior mostly now; work is tough.

As of 4/21/21, I will no longer assign numerical ratings to a tea unless it is terrible enough to warrant one. There are a fair amount of solid teas out there, and reading mildly subjective reviews from others > very subjective numerical rating that gets skewed by Steepster’s calculating system anyway.
